‘My Mum Abandoned Us When Life Became Hard For My Dad’ – Hermes

Reality TV star, Hermes Iyele has revealed how his family went through tough times after his father lost his job.

626Blaze reports that the former Big Brother Naija housemate said his mother left and stayed away for seven years.

In an interview with media personality Chude, the 28-year-old spoke about how his father, who once worked with the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), became a commercial bus driver after facing financial problems.

The family had to move into an unfinished building during this period of hardship.

Hermes revealed that things became so difficult that his mother refused to join them in the new living condition.

She left one night and did not return until seven years later.

At the time, Hermes and his siblings were still very young and had to grow up without their mother.

He explained that even though the experience was painful, he has chosen not to hold any bitterness toward her.

According to him, their father filled the gap with care and did his best to raise the children.

He described his father as someone who loved deeply and tried to keep the family together despite the challenges.

Hermes also said his parents did not have a peaceful marriage, but he understands that his mother may have acted out of fear and survival.

He said: “My dad was working with UNICEF before he started driving a bus. We had to move into an uncompleted building, but my mum said she couldn’t move in with us.

“She left that night and didn’t come back until seven years later. We were pretty young when she left because things got hard, and she couldn’t cope.

“My father raised us with so much love. He was a lover. The thing about love is, it’s the reason I still have so much love for my mum regardless.

“My dad and my mum didn’t have a happy marriage. They had three children together. But I know that my mum did what she did from a place of survival. I can’t fault her for that.”

KWAM 1 nearly knocked down by aircraft at airport

Veteran Fuji musician King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as KWAM 1, was nearly hit by a ValueJet aircraft on Wednesday morning at the Abuja airport in a dramatic incident that has sparked widespread concern.

According to eyewitness accounts, the singer was scheduled to board a ValueJet flight from Abuja to Lagos but was reportedly deboarded by the flight crew for allegedly violating aviation regulations. The nature of the violation has not been officially disclosed.

Enraged by the development, KWAM 1 allegedly stormed onto the tarmac and attempted to stop the aircraft from taking off by standing in front of it.

In a now-viral video circulating on social media, the Fuji icon can be seen confronting ground staff as the aircraft begins to taxi. The footage shows a tense moment where the plane moves dangerously close to KWAM 1, narrowly avoiding a collision.

Aviation experts and social media users have raised questions about how the incident was allowed to escalate to that point, with some accusing the airline of endangering lives by proceeding with the take-off process despite the presence of a pedestrian on the runway.

ValueJet and airport authorities are yet to issue an official statement as of press time.

Actor and producer Adeoluwa Okusaga aka Saga has revealed his plan to gift N100k each to 10 motherless individuals.

He said the money is a gift to honour his later mother who died 11 years ago.

Sharing his pain, he added, “My love, I couldn’t bring myself to make another video this year, so I’m just going to use the same one from last year. 11 years, gone by too fast. I want to stand on a mountain and scream loudly, maybe somehow you’ll hear me say ‘I miss you!.

“Life’s been tough, cold, mean, I can’t even lie, it gets lonely sometimes. I struggle with a lot of things, I have questions no one can answer, I make mistakes, I fall, sometimes I’m misunderstood, “I need you”.

“In all of this, all 11 years… I have never given up, just like you taught me. The light you left in me still burns, Mum. The world keeps trying to kill your flame. Not gonna lie, it flickers sometimes, but somehow it never went out, not once. Warm, yes, but “I miss you still”.

“Iya Ope, your lastborn is still here; he’s an actor now, a producer as well. I wish I could see the look on your face. I’m sure you’re not shocked anyway. I bless God because you saw, nurtured and encouraged all the creativity I have. I am all I am because of you.

“I will always love you, my sweetheart, continue to watch over me, I know you’re not sleeping, you’ll never leave me by myself. I’m your baby forever, your “Ade Bo Bo!”. God bless your soul.

“In honour of you, I would like to give a helping hand to 10 motherless children like me.

N100,000 can be yours within 48 hours. All you have to do is enter my dm, tell me about your mum, why you need the money and attach your account details as well. Tag anyone that might need this…This economy is hard enough as it stands. Always and forever. Mum.”

BBNaija 10: I Don’t Want My Situation To Be Like Ozo’s With Nengi – Kola Eases Up On Dede Chase

Big Brother Naija 10/10 housemate, Kola, has chosen to ease up on his pursuit of fellow housemate, Dede.

Recall that Kola has professed love to Dede but she is insisting on a platonic relationship, citing her romantic relationship outside the house as her reason.

Despite her explanation, Kola has been pushing for a relationship with her and even questioned how closeness with other male housemates, Jason Jae and Koyin.

On Tuesday, Kola spoke to several housemates after his diary session with Biggie and therapy with Ibifubara, complaining that Dede was playing with his feelings.

During a conversation with Sabrina, Kola said he has realised that his situation with Dede was beginning to look like that of 2020 Lockdown housemates, Ozo and Nengi, and he doesn’t want that.

He vowed to take a step back from Dede, stressing that he hopes his team change the narrative of his situation with her from being like Ozo’s with Nengi.

Sabrina: You are the only one dedicated to her [Dede].

Kola: “She is giving mixed signals.”

Sabrina: “Only God knows the conversations she has with Koyin and Jason Jae.”

Kola: “I hope my team change the narrative of this Ozo and Nengi thing, I will do same when I come out.”

It would be recalled that during Big Brother Naija Lockdown Season, Ozo expressed romantic interest in Nengi, but she maintained a friendship with him, emphasising her relationship outside the house.

Despite her stance, Nengi’s behavior sometimes suggested she enjoyed Ozo’s attention and affection.

The situation lead to some viewers mocking and labelling Ozo “a simp.”

FBI orders seizure of Shatta Wale’s 2019 Lamborghini over criminal links

Ghana’s Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has seized a 2019 Lamborghini Urus from popular dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, following a request from the FBI and the United States Justice Department.

The luxury vehicle, found at the singer’s Trassaco Valley home in Accra, was linked to criminal proceeds of Nana Kwabena Amuah, a man currently serving a prison sentence in the US for financial crimes.

In a statement released by EOCO’s acting director, Raymond Archer, the agency said the seizure happened in June after a lawful search conducted by its Surveillance and Asset Recovery Unit.

Shatta Wale, whose real name is Charles Nii Armah, reportedly asked EOCO officers not to make the operation public, claiming the car was vital to his brand.

He later agreed to hand over the car voluntarily. EOCO confirmed the operation happened peacefully and without incident.

The agency explained that the vehicle is now in their custody and steps are being taken to return it to the US as part of Amuah’s $4.7 million restitution.

Shatta Wale and a former senior officer of Ghana’s National Signal Bureau are now being treated as persons of interest and are expected to assist with further investigations.

The agency also said a final report may be submitted to the FBI and US Justice Department.

Reacting on Facebook, Shatta Wale criticized EOCO’s use of armed officers during the search, accusing the agency of humiliating him.
