She Even Unfollowed Me – BBNaija Star, Phyna Reveals Why Iyabo Ojo No Longer Supports Her (Video)

Popular Nigerian Reality TV star, Josephina Otabor, who is better known as Phyna, has explained why actress Iyabo Ojo no longer interacts with her as before.

Phyna said the actress stepped back from supporting her because of her link with social media activist VeryDarkMan, also known as VDM.

She shared this view during a live session with her followers on social media, where she spoke about changes she noticed in Iyabo Ojo’s behaviour toward her.

According to Phyna, Iyabo Ojo once showed regular support by liking and commenting on her posts online.

She explained that this suddenly stopped, and she believes it is connected to her association with VDM.

Phyna added that the situation made her feel that Iyabo no longer had the same affection for her as before.

She further stated that the issue did not only affect her relationship with Iyabo Ojo but also caused problems with other people online.

Phyna revealed that her link with VDM led to clashes with some influencers and even pushed her into online arguments she would normally avoid.

“I feel mama doesn’t like me that much again because before she used to comment on my posts, she used to like it, now she no longer likes it and I’m very sure it’s because of that d!rty boy.

“I even went as far as attacking Vee Iyele because of that dirty boy,” Phyna said.

VeryDarkMan, whose real name is Martins Otse, is known for frequent online clashes with celebrities and public figures.

Why Do You Want My Life To Revolve Around Chaos? – Actress Regina Daniels Slams Ned Nwoko

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has responded following the arrest of her close friend, Ann, in Lagos.

In a series of Instagram story posts shared on Tuesday, Regina questioned the reason behind Ann’s arrest and linked it to her personal issues with her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko.

She expressed worry about Ann’s safety and claimed the arrest was not carried out through proper legal means.

Regina stated that the situation had taken a troubling turn, saying that what began as a domestic violence matter had shifted into other accusations.

She explained that Ann had previously been accused of supplying drugs, an allegation she said was later cleared without confrontation.

According to her, the new claim of theft only surfaced after she chose to address issues calmly rather than engage in conflict.

The actress also said that her former partner was determined to keep her life filled with tension despite having already achieved much in his own life.

She accused him of repeatedly changing accusations and creating ongoing drama around her and those close to her.

Regina further stated that she had many private and public experiences she could share but chose to hold back, believing that doing so might only fuel what she described as a pattern of attention-seeking behaviour.

She concluded by questioning the purpose of the continuous public disputes and what the end goal might be.

Nigerian Singer, Portable Arraigned In Court, Sent To Prison Over Alleged Assault, Car Theft

Habeed Okikiola, the controversial singer, who is popularly known as Portable, was arraigned on Monday at the Federal High Court in Ota, Ogun State, facing a nine-count criminal charge.

According to Ogun State Police spokesperson, Oluseyi Babaseyi, the charges include assault, theft, causing harm and resisting arrest.

The arraignment follows a viral video on Sunday showing the singer in police custody, reportedly over a complaint filed by his estranged partner, Ashabi Simple.

The prosecution alleges that Portable assaulted Ashabi, along with several police officers and other individuals, at his bar in Iyana Ilogbo on New Year’s Day.

Other alleged victims named in the case are Ileyemi Damilola, Akinyanju Oluwabusayomi, Olowu Olumide, Demilade Ogunniyi, and Ebuka Odah.

Portable is also accused of stealing a Mercedes-Benz E300, valued at N12 million, belonging to Ileyemi and purchased from Wally Dex Auto.

It was gathered that two siblings of Ashabi Simple testified as witnesses to the alleged assault, although Ashabi herself was absent.

The police further accused Portable of obstructing and assaulting Ogungbe Olayemi, a female police inspector, while she was performing her official duties.

The presiding judge denied Portable bail, citing the absence of the allegedly assaulted police officer in court.

The judge insisted that the officer must be present before he will consider bail.

Consequently, Portable was remanded in custody, with a fresh bail hearing scheduled for January 19, 2026.
