I Was At My Hype Job When They Came To Toast Me – Anita Joseph’s Estranged Husband, MC Fish Blasts Critics Following Marriage Crash

Fisayo Olagunju, the estranged husband of Nollywood actress Anita Joseph, who is also known as MC Fish, has spoken out about their marriage breakup, addressing claims about his profession and his role in their relationship.

MC Fish, in a series of posts via his Instagram story on Saturday, said Anita had ‘wooed’ him and their conversation led to marriage.

Fisayo dismissed claims that he did not earn a living and relied on his estranged wife during the union, stressing that he has worked as an MC and hypeman for over 15 years.

MC Fish also expressed displeasure over claims that Anita Joseph singlehandedly paid the bills throughout their five-year marriage, insisting that he contributed significantly and worked for his money.

He further defended the profession of hypemen, noting that many people who criticise it still hire them for their events and parties, adding that if there were no future in his job, Anita Joseph would not have agreed to marry him.

He said, “I’ve always maintained my lane. I dey where I dey hype when dem come toast me and e lead to a marriage, fine. Marriage no work again and the next thing woman dey feed me? I dare her to say she took care of the bills by herself in the five years of that marriage. Imbeciles everywhere.

“I’ve been an MC/hypeman for over 15 years. You will be the fool of 2026 to think that I don’t work for my money. Because you can’t afford me doesn’t mean I don’t work. I still repeat am again: if dem born una well, make una come talk am for my front. I’m still saying it say make we no start dey talk wetin we don do for that marriage. But if anybody lie for my head, masala go burst and names go flow, so make nobody whine me.

“This hypeman narrative dey annoy me sometimes. You people that insult us and call us names. when it’s time for you to have a big party, you call us, pay us. But still refuse to recognise the craft. ‘That ordinary hypeman’? SMH. Ordinary hypeman wey if una no hear for club or party, una mind no go touch ground.

“The real truth is if there was no future in the job, una so-called legendary actress no go put body. Simple! So enough of trying to slander me by my profession. Because one day una go get pikin wey go wan do this same work or something relating to it.”

Stepping Down Is Not Enough, You Must Confess What Happened To My Brother – Doris Ogala Tells Pastor Chris Okafor (Video)

Nollywood actress Doris Ogala has declined the apology offered by Pastor Chris Okafor, who recently announced a temporary break from his pastoral duties.

Earlier, Tori News reported that the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry Pastor stepped aside from handling church services.

During a recent service, a video showed the pastor telling his members that other ministers would handle church activities throughout January while he takes time off for prayers, rest, and family time.

He also stated that he and his wife had not taken time off since their wedding.

Ogala, who has been vocal about her grievances, emphasized that the pastor stepping aside is not sufficient to address the deeper issues she has raised, particularly regarding the mysterious death of her younger brother.

Ogala called on the pastor to come forward with answers and said she is determined to bring attention to the circumstances surrounding her brother’s passing.

She stated that the apology and the pastor’s temporary leave are not enough to ease her pain, and she intends to present evidence to support her claims.

She said in a video: “Many people have said that he left me and married another person, that he detained me, that he sent my nude pictures, and that he apologised, so I should let it go. It does not work like that. Chris Okafor should come and explain to me what happened to my brother. Stepping down from the church is not enough.

“I heard that he stepped down from the altar for one month and handed over to his assistant pastor, but that is not enough for me. Chris Okafor, stepping down from the altar, is not enough. You have to explain to me what happened to my brother, the role you played and how my brother was poisoned. I have all the evidence, and I am going to play everything: voice recordings and all the plots.

“You have a long battle coming. No matter what, you had no right to go that far with me. I did nothing to you. People said I should forgive, but what am I leaving behind? If I leave everything, will the money he gives me bring my brother back?

“This is just the beginning. We have not started yet, Chris. Just hold on. I will be displaying everything. You will tell me what happened to my brother. What offence did he commit? Did he have anything to do with you? Why did you hurt me this much? Stepping down from the altar is not enough for me.”

INEC assured Nigerians that the official Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the 2027 General Election will be released in due course, in full compliance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and the Electoral Act, 2022.

“When released, it will be communicated through the commission’s established and verified channels,” it added

Give Before You Ask — Nigerian Actress, Tonto Dikeh Shares Blunt 2026 Money Advice With Fans

Tonto Dikeh, the Nollywood actress, has shared what she calls a “small secret” that many people tend to overlook — a revelation she believes could impact their financial fortunes in 2026.

In a video shared on her Instagram page, the actress advised people to stop seeing wealthy friends, family members, and influential figures only as future helpers, and start being intentional about giving to them first — no matter how small.

Tonto explained that rich people receive countless messages daily from people asking for help, but very few from people who simply want to give or appreciate them. According to her, standing out starts with being different.

She encouraged fans to give within their capacity, stressing that it is not about the size of the gift but the heart and intention behind it.

“These people have thousands of DMs of people begging them, but not of people wanting to give them. Be different,” she said.

The actress also touched on a lesson she said her life coach once taught her — that leadership and blessings often flow through those who understand the power of giving.

Tonto added that many people constantly ask favors from friends they rely on, yet have never taken time to give them even a small gift in appreciation.

I Will Be Resting – Pastor Chris Okafor Takes Break From Ministerial Duties Amid Allegations, Scandal (Video)

Pastor Chris Okafor, founder of Grace Nation International, also known as Liberation City, has taken a temporary break from his ministerial duties.

Okafor announced the development during the New Year service on Thursday, asking four pastors under him to take over from the month of January 2026.

The development comes amidst calls for the pastor to step down from his pastoral duties following reports of sexual allegation from former church members and also a relationship scandal involving actress, Doris Ogala.

But it is unclear if the decision has anything to do with the relationship scandal and ensuing allegations against the cleric.

Okafor said, “We have four Sundays in January, so, in the whole of these four Sundays, we would be having Pastor Sylvester, Pastor Kelvin, Pastor Oliver, and Shadrach minister to you and anoint you every Sunday because it’s going to be prophetic Sundays.

“So, they will be here. While they are here, I will be resting, and it will be time for a personal retreat with God and time for me and my wife to rest because since our wedding we have not rested, we’ve not had time, we have not even done honeymoon.”

The controversy trailing the pastor started immediately after a video of him getting engaged to his wife surfaced online.
