Men Don’t Like Nice Women – Toke Makinwa

Nollywood actress Toke Makinwa has claimed that men don’t like nice women.
She revealed that when women are overly nice, men take them for fools.
Makinwa stated this in the latest episode of her podcast, TokeMoments.
She said, “Men don’t like women that are nice…”
Her guest on the show, skit maker, Bukunmi Adeaga Ilori, Kiekie, rebuffed: “No, let me rephrase that. This is what I believe. For lack of a better word, I feel like when you know how to put a man to a nice use, then he is more functional. See, men like to be reminded what to do.
 
“We have a child, the baby will go to crèche. My husband knows that the baby needs go to crèche but he will forget and hurry into the car to go to work. I will now remind him and he will be like, ‘Ah! I forgot.’ It happened for about three weeks with me constantly reminding him to take her to school before that registered and became part of his routine.”
Toke Makinwa insisted that Kiekie’s husband picked correction probably because he is “easy”, arguing that most men are not like that.

PDP Gave Birth To All Other Parties In Nigeria Including APC – Atiku

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has stated that the party birthed all other political parties in Nigeria including the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The former Vice President went ahead to charge members of the PDP to remain loyal to the party.

Atiku made the call on Thursday during a press conference to address the outcome of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in which his petition challenging the victory of President Bola Tinubu was thrown out.

Atiku however said despite the outcome, he is still standing strong and party members also have no reason to despair.

“Let me finally give hope to some of the delusional or disappointed members of our party. I am one of the foundational members of this party, and I’m still strong.

“This party gave birth to any other party you can think of in this country today. Whether you are APC, or APM—whatever you call yourself—your mother is the PDP.

“What is most important for us is to make sure we remain loyal and faithful members of this historic party. This is the only party since the creation of Nigeria that is as old as it is today.

“We have a record to protect, promote, and foster. You may be fathers today, but you will always be proud of your grandfather, not to mention your great-grandfather. Why will you not want to be proud to be a member of the PDP? There’s absolutely no reason.

“I, therefore, want to urge our memes to remain loyal and dedicated and foster national unity and cohesion,” Atiku said.

BREAKING: RCCG Pastor Installed As Soun Of Ogbomoso

Prince Ghandi Afolabi Laoye, a former pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has been installed as the new Soun Of Ogbomoso by Kingmakers of the ancient town of Ogbomoso on Friday, September 8.

The Areago High Chief, Sobalaje Otolorin led the installation that took place in Abata.

Pastor Ghandi then proceeded into seclusion to commence traditional rites attached to the throne.

Meanwhile, some aggrieved family members approached the court to prevent the installation after the Oyo State Government announced Pastor Ghandi as the Oba-elect of Ogbomoso.

The Oyo state High Court in Ogbomoso had on Thursday restrained Governor Seyi Makinde, the Attorney General of the State and Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters or anyone else from presenting any instrument of office in any form of ceremony or issuing certificate of installation to Olaoye until the final determination of the mandatory injunction already filed before the court.

Earlier, Chief Otolorin disclosed that the kingmakers were not aware of restraining order by any court.

He further proclaimed the new Oba as His Imperial Majesty Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye Orumogege III.

I Went To Have Fun On BBNaija, Not Win N120m – Tolanibaj Says

Nigerian reality TV star, Tolanibaj, has said she went on the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) All-Stars edition to have fun, and not because she wanted to win the N120 million cash prize.

The reality TV star was a participant in the ongoing BBNaija All-Stars show.

She was evicted from the show on August 27, alongside Frodd, after receiving the lowest number of votes.

Following her eviction, Tolanibaj received a lot of backlash over her conduct on the show.

She was criticised for fighting over Neo, a fellow contestant, who consistently denied their relationship and maintained that they were just friends.

She was also slammed for pushing for a relationship with Neo.

In a recently released vlog on her YouTube channel, Tolanibaj said she is used to being criticised and judged.

She also said she had already earned the title of  “queen of drags” before she entered the Big Brother house.

She added that she was not on the show to win the money, but just to have fun.

“I am used to getting dragged. Before I entered the house, I was queen of drags. I came out of Big Brother show, did I expect to be liked? The game that I played even backfired,” she said.

“I did not go there to win the money. If you remember on day one when they asked, I said no pressure… I am just here to have fun.”

Since her eviction, Tolanibaj has not granted the press any interview.

While explaining the reason for not engaging with the press, she said “I did not feel the need to grant anyone access to me and I wanted to be selfish with my time”.

Why I Cannot Venture Into Acting — Singer, Terry G Speaks

Gabriel Oche Amanyi, the Nigerian music star, who is fondly known as Terry G has revealed the reason why he cannot venture into the world of make-believe.

In a chat with Daily Trust, the Apako master stated that he would have to be paid a huge sum of money before he features in a movie.

Narrating an experience he had last on a movie set, the singer noted that he ran from the movie location and had to be begged before he returned to finish the project.

Terry G said, “If you see me in any movie it means that they forced me. I do not have time for that stress. It is not my calling. The one I did last I ran away from the set. They had to beg me a lot before I went back to finish the shoot. It is stressful and I would only act if they pay me a lot of money.

“I would perform for like two hours on stage and collect my millions but when it comes to acting I would spend days on set. If care is not taken they would even know the amount of boxer shorts you brought to the set.”

BBNaija All Stars: CeeC Is Not Who People Think She Is, Says Omashola

Omashola Oburoh, the BBNaija guest housemate, who is also known as Sholzy, has talked about CeeC.

He provided an insightful analysis of CeeC’s personality, challenging the prevailing public perception of her.

 

He said CeeC’s true nature differs significantly from the image people have of her, stressing that the narrative about her outside the House doesn’t accurately represent her real, humorous, playful, and delightful character.

Sholzy shared these thoughts during his diary session, explaining why he chose CeeC as one of his best friends to share the HOH lounge with him.

He revealed that he conducted thorough research on the housemates before entering the show but has since realized that CeeC is a person who has been unfairly judged based on her outward appearance.

He said: “I picked CeeC because; I’ve not really met her in the past, right?! I have a different mindset about her from what I’ve heard outside.

“Of course when I knew I was coming here, I had to do a little bit of research about different housemates. And CeeC was one person I was really ‘worried’ about in terms of not having a connection. And you know Omashola, I don’t want people crossing my path because we’ll end up fighting.

“But she’s one person I was really. Really worried about it. But again, don’t judge a book by its cover. Since I’ve been in this house, she’s actually one person I’ve connected with conversation-wise, she’s playful; it’s; like two different persons.

“You know, it’s not like what I heard is what I’m seeing. We could communicate with people; we could literally communicate.

“So, I feel like, if I’m going to be up there, I want to be with people I could literally have fun and communicate with. And my communication is not like I want to sit down and have a therapy session with you, no! I’m a funny guy! I want to laugh, I want to have fun. I want you to be happy. I want people around me to be smiling. And since I stepped into this house, that’s what she’s been doing, smiling.”

G.O.A.T Debate: Why I Prefer Ronaldo To Messi – Davido Speaks

David Adeleke, the world-renowned Nigerian afrobeats singer, who is professionally known as Davido has cited ‘discipline’ as the reason he prefers Cristiano Ronaldo to Lionel Messi in the G.O.A.T debate.

The 30-year-old musician made this known on the sidelines of the Professional Footballers Association awards.

Recall Davido thrilled the audience at the ceremony to a medley of his songs when the awards marked its 50th anniversary.

Asked by GOAL about his thoughts on the greatest footballer of all time debate between Ronaldo and Messi, the singer said, “Cristiano for me, he is very, very disciplined.

“You know, and to have that kind of success and to be so disciplined at the same time is something I’ve always admired about him.

“I like both of them. But, I personally, I’m a Ronaldo guy.”

Ronaldo recently stated that the rivalry with Messi is over despite the rave it enjoyed among football fans.

He said, “I don’t see things like that; the rivalry is over. It was a healthy rivalry, and the spectators liked it a lot.

He said, “Whoever likes Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t have to hate Messi and vice versa, because they are both very good. We’ve done well; we have changed the history of football, and we’ll keep on doing it. We are respected all over the world; that’s the most important thing.

“He makes his way; I make mine, even if we’re playing outside Europe. From what I’ve seen, he has done well, and so have I. It’s about continuing; the legacy continues.

“I’ve said there’s no rivalry. We’ve shared the stage for 15 years, and we ended up being—I wouldn’t say friends—because I never dined with him. We are professional colleagues, and we respect each other.”

Why I Insulted Chichi During BBNaija Reunion – Phyna

Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) season seven winner, Phyna has revealed why she attacked former housemate, Chichi.
Recall that during a heated argument at this year’s BBNaija reunion, Phyna accused Chichi of abandoning her husband and children.
Phyna also alleged that Chichi was exploiting the loss of her parents as a strategy to gain sympathy and win the season seven show.
Revisiting the feud in a recent chat with Chude Jideonwo, the reality star said “you cannot be body-shaming me” and go scot-free.
In the interview, Phyna said she got infuriated because Chichi allegedly called her “unpleasant names”.
She also said Chichi sued her “for N100 million for libel and defamation of character” — two days after the reunion.
 
“The way I attacked her, they should have known she said something, that part was mute. Because the previous day, she body-shamed me, she called me shapeless and saggy boobs,” she said.
“That is why I had to use the word for her that she would record in her heart and brain. Because you cannot be body-shaming me that have a natural body, I had to remind her that there are stuff.
 
“You called me an abortionist, I reminded you that you have two kids that you abandoned. Two days later, she is suing me in court for N100 million for libel and defamation of character.
 
“I called my lawyer that if we did not reply to the lawsuit, what would happen? My lawyer said if we did not reply within 7 days, she could charge me in court. The next day I bought a suit to prepare for court. I do not like trouble but I love trouble.”
