Alexx Ekubo Warns Nigerians Against ‘No Gree For Anybody’ Slang

Nollywood actor, Alexx Ekubo has said the popular slang, “no gree for anybody” is breeding violence in the country.
He said this on his Instagram page on Monday.
He described the slogan as “the same negativity that has stunted our progress”.
 
“I took time out to introspect. As I crawl out of my solemn place, I can see the same negativity and “gbas gbos” that has stunted our progress,” he wrote.
 
“Please what is “no gree for anybody” that I am seeing everywhere? It is breeding violence and fostering revenge culture.
 
“Instead, can we be more tolerable and considerate towards each other. Be kind, everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.
 
“We are different people, raised under different circumstances, with different degrees of luck.
 
“Life will show us different variations of “shege”. Everyone has their unique experience with how the world works, do not expect everyone to think and act like you.”

Lil Frosh, a Nigerian singer who is a former signee of Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), has publicly appealed to his former boss for a second chance.

Fans Rejoice As Fuji Singer, Kollington Debunks Death Rumour

Ayinla Kollington, a veteran fuji singer, made headlines earlier this week amid rumors suggesting he had succumbed to an undisclosed illness.

However, the fuji star quickly refuted the claims when he appeared in a video made on his hospital bed at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital in Ikeja.

In the video, which went viral on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, the singer, who is also known as Kebe-n-Kwara, thanked the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; as well as staff of LASUTH.

He said, “I want to thank Lagosians. I also want to thank the Lagos State Government and the management of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, as well as the team under the leadership of Adetokunbo Fabanwo. It is only God that can save life, but I want to appreciate him and the team, because I would have gone to the great beyond.”

Reacting to the video, a fan identified as Agboola said, “Baba kebe, I wish you quick recovery.”

Another fan, Owoyemi, wrote, “Baba, it is because you are a public figure. God will heal you; but this is not the same treatment they give to others.”

Why I Didn’t Divorce My Husband – Actress, Jaiye Kuti

Actress and filmmaker Jaiye Kuti generated considerable attention recently when she revealed that numerous married women, herself included, have contemplated leaving their marriages.

 

She disclosed that she personally attempted to exit her marriage on three occasions.

However, in an interview with Saturday Beats, she stated that the only way to handle challenges in marriage was through understanding and forgiveness.

She said, “I actually wanted people to know that marriage is not a bed of roses. I want women to know that understanding has 150 per cent to do in the success of every marriage, because love is not enough. Yes, you need to love one another. But, there will be a time when you will look at each other, and wonder how you got married in the first place. That is the point where understanding comes in. Both spouses will have to understand that everybody is human, and are prone to mistakes. If the parties involved are not ready to forgive each other, they won’t be able to sustain the marriage.

“What if your husband cheats? Even men that don’t cheat could have other issues. I have been married for over 20 years. If I add the period of our courtship, that will be 25 years. My husband actually sponsored my education at the University of Lagos before we got married in 2000.”

The actress added that young ones should have it at the back of their minds that they would not get 100 per cent happiness, love or romance.

Reacting to women who claim that their marriages will not have challenges because of their religious beliefs, Kuti said, “There is nothing like Jesus will not let my marriage be like that. It (marriage) has been ordained to have those challenges, whether one likes it or not, and whether one is a Christian, Muslim or even atheists. Marriages usually have challenges, and one just has to take it that way.”

Why I Support Living Together Before Marriage – Simi Says

Simi Kosoko, the popular Nigerian singer, who is simply known as Simi, has said she is in support of intending couples living together before marriage.

She explained that cohabiting would allow an intending couple to know each other better before deciding to get married.

Speaking in the latest episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, Simi revealed that she was cohabiting with her husband, Adekunle Gold before they got married.

She said, “I used to go over to Adekunle Gold’s place for us to spend time together.

“I am of the opinion that… Maybe I shouldn’t share this opinion because I feel like religious people might not agree with me. I personally think that people who want to get married should live together for a little bit before they do that. Because I don’t think you really know someone that you’re going to marry until you cohabit. The way someone is when they are outside in their best behaviour is different from how they are when they are cranky and they haven’t eaten or when they wake up in the morning or when they are snoring.

“When you live with someone you know all the sides to them, that is when you really know if you can do forever with them. Millions of people have gotten married without living together. But I personally think it’s a good idea to cohabit before marriage. It doesn’t have to be for long.”
