Narrating her ordeal, she wrote: “Woke up today and couldn’t feel any part of my body. For a second, I felt lifeless. I still struggled and went to my stores to do inventory and a few interviews for incoming employees, and that was when I slumped.

“All through December, I worked every single day, and even when my staff travelled for the season celebration, I still kept working. No days off, no stretches, no nothing… just a walking corps working tirelessly to cater for others, forgetting myself.

“I did over 32 tests today, and all came out negative, including cancer, fibroid, liver, kidney, malaria, typhoid, etc. I guess God took proper care of my organs while I neglected my body.

“I am typing this from a sick bed, but I will be fine because the God that protects the vulnerable kids I struggle for will never fail me.

They said I’m extremely exhausted and need proper bed rest. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for your constant protection over my life.”

Late Nigerian Singer, Destiny Boy’s Mother Reveals The Real Cause Of His De@th (Video)

Saida, the mother of late Afrobeat singer Afeez Adeshina, popularly known as Destiny Boy, has opened up about the circumstances surrounding her son’s de@th.

The singer, who rose to fame in 2019 with his Fuji cover of Davido’s hit song If, passed away on Sunday, January 18, 2025, after battling a long-term mysterious illness known as “Ogu oru,” which frequently caused seizures.

Speaking in a video that trended on Monday, Saida explained that her son’s condition had been closely managed by the family, traditional healers, and clerics.

She said the illness had almost taken a severe toll on him, but they kept it hidden from the public due to his superstar status.

“Destiny went to rest. When he gave birth to his child, about four days after the naming, we went to Oba Edu Ifayomi, who initiated him traditionally. The man likes him as his son, so that’s why he told us to come and collect a ram for the baby’s naming ceremony. It was then that the sickness caught up with him, causing him to fall.

“It was there that we took him to the hospital. Oba Edu said we should ensure he’s properly treated and that he will take care of himself. He kept sending us money even when he was transferred to about two other hospitals. When we saw the trend of the sickness, we told him that we should go traditional, and he said we should bring him to his place. I was the one he even gave the soap to bathe him.

“We returned, and he was fine. The sickness he battled with was ‘Ogu oru,’ which caused him to have seizures. The sickness had almost run him mad. We were the ones who always ensured that he didn’t run out in the process of calming him.”

She further dismissed rumours linking Destiny Boy to money rituals, saying: “Destiny Boy was not involved in money rituals. Those spreading such misinformation are just seeking attention from his de@th.”

Recalling his last days, she added: “On Saturday, he still bought things for people, greeted his fans, and said he had a show on Sunday. Even then, the seizure caught him again.”

Saida also recounted the family’s efforts to seek traditional treatment, including guidance from Oba Edu Ifayomi, who had been closely involved in his care.

The singer had recently celebrated the birth of his first child in November 2024.

Reports by the Ogun State Police Command stated that investigations into his de@th are ongoing and that further updates will be provided.

My Kids Are Bullied In School – Veteran Actress, Mercy Johnson Cries Out Over False Rumors (Video)

Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson has revealed that her children are facing bullying at school due to false narratives circulating about her on social media.

The actress disclosed this on Monday morning while speaking about the negative impact of false news against her on social media.

This came a few days after she was dragged online for arresting a Tiktoker who defamed her and her husband with a rumor allegedly reported by popular blogger, Cutie Juls.

However, revealing her reason for making the arrest, the actress in a video on her Instagram page explained that her children are being bullied in school because she is being tagged as a witch by trolls on the Internet.

Warning netizens to keep her family name out of their mouth, Mercy alleged that some of the Nigeria blogs publishing false news against her are owned by her colleagues.

While threatening that he who alleged must prove in court, she noted that “Please I’m begging you because subsequently, I’m not going to listen to anybody. I’m going to let the law take its full course.

“I don’t understand why you people love to tear down and destroy. I have kids. When you write these lies, I have teenagers who are being bullied in school because of the things that you write. There are parents who tell their kids not to let my kids touch their school bags because I’m a witch. I just need my name out of your mouth. This is off for now, but every other person who has alleged must prove. So, I still have more cases for 2026 because I won’t let my kids get bullied because of your lies.

“I have always been in my lane. My priorities are my husband and my kids. Nothing concerns me and una. I don’t care who is doing better. Please leave my name, my husband’s name out of your mouth. She’s off but that doesn’t make my other cases off, they are still on, and I’m going about it according to the law. How can you not know that actresses own these blogs?

“Actresses owned these blogs, colleagues owned these blogs, people who just don’t like you own these blogs, and they can be paid to say whatever. You have seen it before. People have come out to accuse bloggers of collecting money and writing things they want them to write.

“When I was getting married, I don’t think I had an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) with anybody to say we’re going to go in there, I’m not going to stay married, I’m going to leave. I got in alone. So, it means I have no business with anybody.

“There’s no reason why you wake up every morning and count the years for me and say we’re going to try and break it up, because it’s something you can’t just break. Your lies, and propaganda are not working this side. I need no validation from anyone and I know who I am”, she said.

She Procured An Illegal Abortion For Regina Daniels – Ned Nwoko Gives Reasons For Arresting The Actress’ Friend, Ann

Ned Nwoko, the Nigerian lawmaker, has explained the reasons behind the arrest of Izugbe Ann, the best friend of his estranged wife, Regina Daniels.

In a post he shared on his social media handle this morning, Nwoko gave reasons for calling for Ann’s arrest.

In his statement, the lawmaker who represents Delta North Senatorial District in the Senate, said amongst the many offences of Ann is that she defamed him in public by coming online to claim that he beat his 5th wife, Laila, up while she was pregnant, causing her to lose her pregnancy.

Nwoko said nothing of such ever happened.

He stated that Ann had in the past procured an illegal ab0rtion for his estranged wife Regina. According to the lawmaker, Ann made Regina carry out the ab0rtion while she was still married to him.

Phyna Denies Saying She Has Not Received BBNaija Winner’s N100 Million Prize Money (Video)

Reality star Josephine Ijioma Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has denied claims that she has not received her N100 million grand prize for winning the 2022 Big Brother Naija reality show.

Recall that Phyna called out the organisers in 2023, claiming that she was yet to receive all the prizes she won on the show.

After series of statements from both Phyna’s team and BBN organisers, the matter left the public space, making fans to believe it has been resolved.

However, recently a video, wherein Phyna allegedly said she was yet to receive her prize money, started trending again.

Addressing the viral video, during recent livestream on Twitch, Phyna stated that the video was cut with a malicious intent, stressing that she only stated in the full video that those mocking her for turning to a streamer despite winning N100 million years ago, never supported her when she was fighting for the prize money to me released to her.

“They keep cutting my video, I never said I have not received my 100 million naira. I was only talking to people who asked me if the 100 million naira has finished,” she said.

Phyna noted that the “malicious” video almost triggered a legal battle between her and the reality show organisers who were not pleased to hear that she said she hasn’t received her prize money.

She explained that she had to explain to the organisers that the video was cut, and urged them to check out the full video on Twitch for confirmation.

She urged bloggers to stop cutting her videos to twist her statements, threatening that she would sue any blogger who cut her video if she got into any legal issue as a result.
