He explained that they placed restrictions on his lifestyle, including curfews and personal choices, despite his growing success.

The revelation has sparked reactions online, with many relating to strict African parenting, while others praised his parents for trying to guide him despite his fame and wealth.

I want a God-fearing man as husband – Tems

Nigerian singer Tems has shared her thoughts on marriage, emphasizing that it should be rooted in growth and purpose rather than just emotions.

Speaking during a recent interview with media personality Angie Martinez, the Grammy-winning artist explained that she believes marriage should be approached with a mindset of advancement, not just feelings.

According to Tems, relationships, especially marriage, are bound to experience challenges, and individuals must be prepared for moments that may not always be pleasant.

She noted that because of the unpredictable nature of marriage, she values the importance of choosing a God-fearing partner. In her view, such a partner is more likely to be accountable and committed to making the relationship work.

“My partner has to be a God-fearing man. Because why would you truly love me if you don’t have anyone that you answer to? If you’re not accountable to anyone, how could you choose to love and keep loving me for the rest of our lives?

 

“If you’re the god of your life, why would you love me forever? You could just discard me anytime you want. But marriage is something that makes you better as a human being. It should. It shouldn’t be about only love, it’s about compatibility. It’s about whether a relationship makes you a better person, like it evolves you. Because marriage is a whole another level, it’s supposed to bring out the hard times,” she stated.

“I dare you to discontinue the case” – VeryDarkMan slams Sowore’s promise to free BLord following detention

Social media activist VeryDarkMan has reacted strongly to human rights activist Omoyele Sowore’s promise to secure the release of businessmanBLord, who was reportedly remanded at Kuje Correctional Centre following allegations of defamation.

VDM had earlier announced that BLord was arrested and would be remanded for 26 days for allegedly defaming his character. Sowore, however, took to social media to pledge that he would ensure BLord’s release.

Reacting to this development, VDM criticized Sowore’s involvement while detailing what he claims BLord did to provoke the legal issues.

“Omoyele Sowore do that thing wey you won do, and if them come born you well, that thing wey your mind dey tell you say you be, that you will discontinue the case, I won know who you be. But the one I want to tell you, if them born you well, do that thing you have on your mind. If not, that you’re m@d.

On the 21st of January, BLord posted my picture that I will be coming to Onitsha, wore me cloth and put Blunt Gadget to advertise his business,” he said

VDM further alleged that BLord forged a flight ticket to make people believe they were on good terms and even created a video suggesting as much.

“On January 22, he posted that I had approved Billpoint as the number one app for local and international flights. He also created a billboard using my photo and claimed he paid me ₦500 million to be his ambassador — defrauding people with my name,” he added.

VDM emphasized that BLord’s alleged actions misrepresented him publicly and defrauded unsuspecting individuals.

He reiterated that all claims of payments or endorsements in his name are false, while issuing a stern warning to Sowore to refrain from the case.

“I don’t know my cancer stage” – Blessing CEO clarifies claim, opens up on health condition

Popular relationship expert, Blessing CEO, has opened up about her ongoing battle with breast cancer, shedding light on the emotional and physical toll it has taken on her.

During an Instagram Live session with Ifedayo Olarinde, popularly known as Daddy Freeze, she revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer at a Nigerian hospital.

However, she noted that the exact stage of the illness remains unclear, as it was not explicitly stated in her medical report.

“I discovered a lump in July last year, and I was later told in early January that it was cancerous. I began preparing for a mastectomy to determine how far the condition had spread. I’m not ready to share my hospital report yet, but I will share it soon,” she said

Speaking on the cost of treatment, Blessing admitted she does not have a definite figure, explaining that her earlier appeal for financial assistance was driven by uncertainty over the full scope of her medical needs, which could include surgery, therapy, and other procedures.

Addressing criticism during the live session, she responded to a lawyer who questioned her for soliciting funds without a detailed medical report.

“I didn’t state a fixed amount when asking for help. I was just trying to plan because I didn’t know what to expect, though I may have exaggerated things,” she clarified.

Her statement comes days after she emotionally appealed to Nigerians in a viral video, where she claimed to be battling stage 4 cancer, expressing fear and exhaustion over her condition.

Reacting to the development, actress Sarah Martins publicly dismissed Blessing’s claims, accusing her of staging the situation to solicit funds for her partner IVD.

“She can’t even lie” – Man heartbroken as girlfriend sends cousin to pack her things after being caught cheating

A young man has sparked reactions online after sharing his painful heartbreak story about his girlfriend’s alleged betrayal.

The story was shared on Facebook by Auntie Momoza, where the man recounted how he unexpectedly discovered his partner with another man.

Shock Discovery

According to the man, he visited his girlfriend’s house unannounced, only to find her with another man.

Rather than cause a scene, he said he controlled himself and quietly walked away, but later broke down in tears when he got home.

Girlfriend’s Reaction Sparks More Pain

The man revealed that what hurt him even more was her reaction after the incident.

Instead of reaching out to explain or apologise, she allegedly sent a brief message stating that she would send her cousin to pick up her belongings from his place.

He added that she showed no remorse and later told him to communicate with her mother regarding matters concerning their child.

Three-Year Relationship Ends Abruptly

The man explained that they had been together for three years and share a child.

He expressed shock over how quickly everything ended.

In his words: “Please keep me anonymous. I visited my girlfriend’s place unannounced and found her with another man. I managed to control myself and walked away. I got home and cried myself to sleep. I’ve been together with her for three years and we have a child. I expected her to call and try to lie or something, but she only sent me a text telling me she’ll send her cousin to come fetch her stuff at my place. My heart just sank. It seemed like she didn’t even care I caught her in action. No remorse, zero. Her cousin came to fetch her things and that was it. The last text was to tell me that anything to do with the child I must communicate with her mom. I have never cheated or mistreated her. I’ve tried my best to be a wonderful boyfriend and great dad. For her to betray me like this? With a married man? This life neh!!!…”

The post has since sparked mixed reactions online, with many sympathizing with the man while others shared differing opinions on the situation.

The fan shared the advice through a message, which Falz reposted on his Instagram story on Sunday.

Falz explained that he was not offended by the suggestion.

The activist added a playful remark about possibly experimenting with marriage to see how it would go.

He said: “It’s not your fault, I am the one who chose to be an entertainer, that means my life is your entertainment.

“I should just do a quick matrimonial experiment, let’s just see. I appreciate your suggestion.”

In 2025, Falz stated that he may choose not to announce his marriage publicly.
