Veteran Actress Lola Idije Opens Up About Single Parenting, Trust And Life

Veteran Yoruba actress, Lola Idije has opened up about being a single parent.
She spoke in a recent interview with fellow actress Ayo Adesanya.
Lola Idije explained in Yoruba that single parenting is not an easy road at all.
According to her, it comes with endless challenges, especially when raising children without a partner’s support.
She revealed that as a single parent, you carry heavy responsibilities alone — from school fees to daily upkeep — and most people are not willing to help. She stressed that even when relatives or friends promise to assist, many times it ends in disappointment.
Lola Idije didn’t stop there.
She said many men are generally not serious. According to her, some only come around because they’ve placed a bet with friends that they’ll “get the lady.”
She added that the way men look at actresses is sometimes very disrespectful, believing that with as little as ₦500,000 they can get any woman in the industry.
The actress also warned women to be careful with trust, saying, “Trust no one.”
She added that it is painful when people who can afford to support single parents prefer to “flex” instead of helping those in need.
Speaking further, Lola Idije noted that despite all these challenges, many women keep pushing for the sake of their children.

American rapper Cardi B has written her name into the history books by becoming the first female rapper to debut her first two studio albums at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
This followed the rave made by her latest release “Am I The Drama?.”
The album had 200,000 equivalent album units in its opening week.
In an official Instagram post, Billboard announced: “Cardi B scores her second No. 1 on the Billboard 200 as ‘Am I The Drama?’ debuts atop the tally..
”With 200,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S., it marks 2025’s biggest week for an R&B/hip-hop album by a woman.”

“Am I The Drama?” now holds the biggest first-week sales of 2025 for a female hip-hop or R&B artist.
In a unique promotional twist, Cardi B also broke a Guinness World Record by delivering 176 signed copies of her album via drone delivery in just one hour across the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

BBNaija 10: Imisi, Dede, Kola, Others Make Top 10 Ahead of Grand Finale

The 10 finalists in the Big Brother Naija Season 10, tagged 10/10 have been unveiled.

This followed the eviction of three housemates over the weekend.

The finalists are Kola, Imisi, Isabella, Sultana, Jason Jae, Mensan, Koyin, Kaybobo, Dede, and Faith.

During the live eviction show on Sunday night, host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announced the eviction of three housemates, including Mide, Zita, and Rooboy, cutting the contestant pool from 13 to 10.
The seven remaining housemates joined Sultana, who currently holds the Head of House title; Mensan, regarded as the most influential player; and Kaybobo, who secured automatic qualification after the dramatic red phone twist that cost the prize pot N10 million.
Mide, the first to be evicted, expressed gratitude for her journey, admitting she never expected to last so long.
She noted that her toughest moment was adjusting to life in the house without Bright Morgan, but she credited the experience for sparking her newfound passion for acting.
“Watch out for Mide the actress, she is coming,” she told fans while on stage.
Zita was the next to exit the show. Reflecting on her journey, she noted that she was thankful for the platform and hinted at the possibility of reconnecting with Danboskid, who was her love interest while in the house.
Rooboy became the third eviction of the night. Speaking on stage, he revealed his future plans, including pursuing a career in hyping, acting, and also contributing to football development.
The live show also featured brief check-ins with some housemates still in the running.
Faith addressed questions about his occasional conflicts with fellow housemates.
“I am the problem sometimes, and sometimes it is the housemates,” he said.
Isabella also addressed her flirtatious interactions with Koyin and other male housemates, insisting it was “just fun,” a sentiment Koyin confirmed as mutual.
For the week’s rankings, Mide topped the bottom three charts while Zita had the last spot.
With just 10 housemates left from the initial 29, fans eagerly await who will walk away with the BBNaija 10/10 crown and the grand prize on Sunday.

Why I’m Ignoring Lizzy Anjorin’s Death Wishes, Curses On My Grandson – Iyabo Ojo

Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has given an update concerning her issues with Lizzy Anjorin over the consistent insults, death wishes and curses on her family and grandson.

According to Iyabo Ojo, she’s deliberately ignoring Anjorin and her curses.

Speaking in a post via Instagram on Sunday, the actress admitted that she had often struggled to hold her peace and ignore the distraction because of God.
She wrote, “Honestly, I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. These videos cracked me up real good 😂🤣🤣😅🤣🤣😂 😂🤣😅😂
 
On a more serious note, I’ve seen all your messages, DMs, voice notes, and questions about my silent approach to the defamatory statements, insults, death wishes, and curses Liz Anjorin has been directing at my family, especially those targeting my grandson. Honestly, most times, I struggle to hold my peace… but I have to ignore the distractions. Who God has blessed, no one can curse 🙏.
 
For clarity, I want to assure you all that my legal team isn’t sleeping. They’re taking notes of everything. A wise one must always listen to the counsel of the learned team. Everything has its timing.
 
My people, over the past few months, it was strictly about focusing on family while my legal team takes note and prepares me for the battles ahead – welcoming my grandson, supporting my daughter through her motherhood journey, and standing in the gap, both physically and spiritually, required my undivided attention.
 
Note that once I land in Lagos, God willing, yes, it will be time to tackle challenges. Silence can be powerful, and while it’s not always easy for me, I know it’s sometimes necessary. I love you all and appreciate your genuine concerns ❤️. Keep being your wonderful selves, and I’ll keep you all updated when the time is right. God bless.”

Coloured: ‘I’m Not Sorry’ – Tyla Reacts To Tiwa Savage’s Apology To Americans On Her Behalf

Grammy-winning South African singer Tyla has responded to Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage’s apology to Black Americans on her behalf regarding her “coloured” comments.

Recall that Tyla sparked a controversy after publicly identifying as “coloured”-a term widely accepted in South Africa to describe people of mixed descent.

However, the word carries a painful history in the United States, where it is considered offensive.

Consequently, Tyla has been heavily backlashed by Americans, especially by the Black community.

In light of this, Tiwa Savage apologised to the African-American community on Tyla’s behalf, during a recent appearance on American show The Breakfast Club, declaring herself as the ‘Water’ hitmaker’s “elder.”

Savage’s apology triggered an uproar from South Africans, who berated her for speaking for one of their own without having a proper understanding of their identity and racial terminology.

Tyla also subtly sent a message that the Nigerian singer’s apology does not represent her by declaring that she is “not sorry” during her performance at the Global Citizen Festival in New York over the weekend.

“Sorry, I am not sorry,” she declared before performing her song ‘Mr Media.’

Meanwhile, fellow South Africans have been hailing Tyla for disassociating herself from Tiwa Savage’s apology.

Thousands of South African online users shared clip of Tyla’s subtle message across social media platforms, praising her for standing firm on her race/identity.
