Jason Jae, “Wow”.
Sultana, “Was it something I wanted? No, but it happened and the thing is my stubbornness got me out of it. I was already growing and because I like piercings, tattoos, I haven’t even gotten the kind of tattoo I want because I dey think of my mama.”
Ruth Otabor, the sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner Phyna, has passed away after a tragic accident involving a Dangote Group truck near Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State.
The family announced her death on Sunday through a statement by Eko Solicitors & Advocates, stating that Ruth passed on Sunday at about 6:30 a.m.
“With a heavy heart, the family regrets to announce the passing on to glory of their daughter, sister, and mother on this 31st Day of August, 2025 at about 06:30Hrs,” the statement read.
The incident occurred on August 13, 2025, just six days after Ruth graduated from the polytechnic, and resulted in the amputation of her leg.
According to eyewitnesses, the heavy-duty truck crushed her leg before it was eventually stopped by a bystander.
Phyna had been demanding justice for her sister, accusing the company of negligence and vowing not to let the matter be swept under the carpet.
Dangote Group had accepted responsibility for the incident, promising comprehensive medical care and appropriate compensation to Ruth’s family.
However, Phyna expressed outrage after the company’s staff posted photos of her injured sister online without permission.
Ruth’s passing has sparked an outpouring of emotions, with fans and fellow celebrities mourning her loss and calling for justice.
The family has requested privacy as they mourn and will communicate funeral arrangements in due course.
“The family is presently grieving and will appreciate to be given a private moment to mourn the departed.
“The funeral arrangement will be communicated to the public in due course,” the statement added.
Actress Shine Rosman has opened up about her powerful role in the much-talked-about film “To Kill A Monkey”, describing it as one of the most transformative experiences of her career.
In an interview with newsmen, Rosman shared how embodying the character “Sparkles” pushed her creatively and emotionally.
“Channeling Sparkles definitely put me outside of my comfort zone. But I enjoyed every moment of it. God is good. God helps one with everything. You just have to ask Him,” she said.
The film, which has garnered massive attention despite minimal traditional publicity, is being praised for its raw storytelling. Rosman attributed the film’s success to divine grace.
“People shoot amazing films all the time. It really just takes the grace of God to be at this level of people just embracing the project and the authenticity about it,” she noted.
Rosman also praised the experience of working under a female director Kemi Adetiba, describing it as both inspiring and validating.
“There is something incredible about working with female directors. Every time I work with them, I feel like I am doing what I should be doing. Nothing gets by them, the nails, the hair, the makeup. Nothing gets past her. She is such a detailed and a unique person. It was incredible working with her.”
Beyond her personal journey in To Kill A Monkey, Rosman reflected on the broader challenges women face in the entertainment industry, particularly in music.
“I do think sometimes there are ways women are held back in entertainment, especially in music. It’s a very difficult space for women to navigate,” she added.
In a fascinating turn of events in the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house, Doris Okorie has emerged as the Head of House for week four.
This win comes on the heels of the eviction show where Kayikunmi and Otega bid farewell to the house. Biggie announced Doris’ win, congratulating her and asking her to pick a housemate to share the privileges of the HOH lounge with.
Doris chose Denari as her house guest, a decision that has got fans excited about the potential bond between the duo.

Doris, a 34 Year-old content creator from Imo State, was a strong contender among four male housemates in a qualifier group competing for the HOH position.
There is no truth in the death rumour circulating concerning music legend Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi, following the affirmation that he is alive, strong and healthy.
In a video on Tuesday morning, Obey-Fabiyi reacted through songs in Yoruba, English and Pidgin, where he described the news as false.
In the video, Obey-Fabiyi sang, “Hello, my name is Professor Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi. Satan, you don lose o, Satan, you don lose o, you don pafuka. Na lie lie you dey talk, you don pafuka.”
The legendary musician, then added, “It is fake news that started a few hours ago claiming that I, Evangelist Obey, have passed on to glory. It is a lie. I am alive, and that is not the word Jesus has written.”
The rumour of his death went viral on Monday, sparking mourning messages from his fans.
However, his assistant, Tope Olukole, swiftly debunked the claim during a Monday evening interview with TVC.
Olukole assured the public that the music legend was in good health.
“Let’s set the record straight: Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi is alive and thriving! He recently celebrated a joyous occasion, the 50th birthday of his second child’s spouse,” Olukole said.
“Rumours of his passing are baseless and entirely unfounded. We’re glad to see him active and well,” he added.
The death hoax came barely a month after Obey-Fabiyi marked his 83rd birthday.

A Magistrate court sitting in Yaba, Lagos has cleared Nigerian street singer Azeez Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley, his aide Sam Larry, and Prime Boy from the death of Mohbad.
Magistrate Ejiro Kubenje, who read and implemented the legal advice of the Directorate of Public Prosecution, DPP, Lagos, said that they had no case to answer as regards the unfortunate demise of the late singer.
The court said it would prosecute the auxiliary nurse that injected him (Feyisayo Ogedengbe) and one of Mohbad’s friends, Ayobami, for the offense of reckless and negligent acts contrary to Section 251 (e) of the Criminal Law, Ch C.17, Vol 3, Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
The duo will be prosecuted at the Magistrate Court.
Refreshing Mohbad memory, a former signee of Naira Marley’s record label, tragically passed away at 27 under unclear circumstances on September 12, 2023.
Following his death, his former boss, Naira Marley and his aide, Sam Larry lost the admiration of Nigerians when a video of Sam assaulting the late Mohbad surfaced online. The video sparked a flurry of reactions from the online community and led to the cancellation of Naira Marley and his label.
The duo were arrested and kept in police custody for more than five weeks but were released on November 17th after they met their bail conditions. After their release, the singer and his aide engaged in several charitable deeds to win back the hearts of Nigerians.
Back in March, a video of an Imam forcing Naira and Sam Larry to say Amen for the killers of Mohbad surfaced online and left tongues wagging. The Imam later spoke out on the incident, revealing that they had confessed to him that they were innocent and had nothing to do with his death, and had asked him to say a prayer for the killers of Mohbad.
In May, Sam Larry was embarrassed over an incident at a club. The socialite had stormed a club, and unfortunately for him, a club guest confronted him over Mohbad’s death, questioning where the boy he killed was. This made Sam Larry flare up and was captured online venting as some guys held him.
Zinoleesky, who is signed under Naira Marley’s label, Marlians Records, also lost the support of many for keeping silent over the maltreatment rendered on Mohbad. His career took a major blow, as US show promoters cancelled his tours and distanced themselves from him.
Nigerian street-hop artist, Habeeb Okikiola popularly known as Portable, has spoken out following his release on bail, stating that he is now focused on making money rather than getting into trouble.
The controversial singer, who was recently granted bail, made the statement in a viral video, reassuring fans and followers that he has learnt his lesson.
An Ogun State Magistrate court sitting in Isabo area of Abeokuta had on Thursday granted Portable to a bail of two million naira.
Portable was arraigned on a five- count charge bothering on conspiracy to commit felony, unlawful assault on government officials while on duties.
“I’m not looking for trouble again, only money,”
The singer has been in the news for various controversies, but his latest remarks suggested he is ready to turn a new leaf and concentrate on his music career.
His fans will be keen to see if he would abide to his resolution.
Aso oke is a handwoven cloth from Nigeria that translates to “top cloth” or “cloth from the highlands”, the English translation of Aso-Oke is “top cloth”, another name for Aso-Oke is ‘aso off’.
Aso-oke’s origins can be traced back to the 15th century when it was created by the Yoruba people of Nigeria. The town of Iseyin in Oyo State, Nigeria, is widely believed to be the birthplace of Aso-oke. The town is home to a large number of weavers, and the cloth has been produced there for centuries.
It is a hand-loomed cotton fabric from Nigeria that is traditionally worn by the Yoruba people. It’s a prestigious fabric that’s worn for special occasions and is a symbol of Yoruba identity and culture.
Types of Aso Oke
Sanyan: Tan wild silk
Alaari: Magenta imported silk
Etu: Indigo cotton
In the olden days, the making of the aso-oke was usually done by older people especially the weaving aspect, which was usually transferred from generation to generation. In a family, a father can be a weaver and then transfer the skill to their children. The business of making Aso-Oke was done within a family where the father, mother, and children would work together because it’s not something one person can do all by themselves. But now, we can see people of all ages, with this passion, making and producing Aso-oke fabrics in different colours and styles.
Aso-oke was not so common in 2015, Aso-oke was not worn by everybody, it was worn only by brides, older people, royal families, and others.
I beg to differ. Aso-oke is not becoming unfashionable to the younger generation; instead, Aso-oke has come to stay. If we look around, designers have used their creative prowess to change the narrative.
We now use Aso Oke to make jackets, trousers, skirts, dresses, kiddies outfits, shoes, bags, purses, and even a wedding dress.
It is now used by both old and young people, male and female, and also people of different tribes. This is why you see a lot of designers now learning how to sew and design Aso Oke unlike before when you could only get a few designers in this area.
I am aware that China’s investment in the production of traditional attires is causing a threat to indigenous fashion designers. The type of Aso Oke China produces can never be compared to what Nigeria produces because this is a product of our culture. It is locally woven. We are the originators of Aso-oke so China cannot produce exactly what we do. Based on comparison, Nigerians still prefer the quality of what is made locally to what China imports.
This gele style is a real show stopper sure to get the Yoruba aunties looking in your direction. It’s best to use an aso-oke or any other thick fabric to achieve consistency.
This style is a remixed version of the infinity pleated gele. It’s a nice option if you’re attending an owambe with several mummies and want to stand out from them.
Nigerian skit maker, Aloma Isaac Junior, known as Zicsaloma, has revealed his new look after undergoing Rhinoplasty surgery in Turkey.
His decision to alter his facial appearance has sparked mixed reactions online. Many Netizens have criticized the move and urged him to embrace his natural looks.
In a recent video shared on his Instagram handle, Zicsaloma showcased his post-surgery transformation and healing process, assuring fans that he is still recovering and will fully unveil his new face.
He said: “So guys this is the day 5 after my Rhinoplasty, I went to take my cast off, have it at the back of your mind that this is just 5 days after my surgery, so I’m still swollen, this is not the final result.
“ This is my doctor, he started cleaning my nostrils, he was checking if there was nasal packing in my nose. Yes, there was nasal packing in my nose, this is what he brought out, it wasn’t painful but it was uncomfortable. All those stuffs were stuffed in my nose to control bleeding after the surgery.
“He started taking out the cast, my face was swollen, look at my side profile, it’s already coming out very well. It’s still swollen but will look more normal so you guys should calm down. I know some of you pray it looks bad, but God pass man.
“He’s putting a cast that I’ll be taking off and replacing myself for the next month because after one month the swelling will go down significantly, so he’s putting back the cast.
“This thing my doctor is showing me is called a retainer, this is to ensure that your nostrils are maintained and very even. I would be wearing these retainers for one month just at night.”
Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as portable has thrown heavy shade at Davido and Asake for missing out on winning a Grammy award.
The ‘Zeh Nation’ boss took to his Instagram page as he shared a video where he mocked the singers for losing at the 67th Grammy award, held on February 2, at the Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles.
According to him, they had avoided him but the international awarding committee did not recognise them with an award.
In the video, Portable added that he and Naira Marley are the ones who deserve to win the award. The singer mentioned the fact that a female artist defeated his colleagues and confidently declared that he would win the Grammy.
“Only Naira Marley and I deserve Grammys in Nigeria” — Portable says as he drâgs Asake and Davido, and others. pic.twitter.com/j6vkTzjvU9
Throwing shades at Asake, he stated that the singer wore a military uniform to the award ceremony, adding that the event was not about war but about glory.
He urged Skepta to submit their collaboration, Tony Montana, for the next Grammy Awards and also encouraged Olamide to submit their hit song, Zazu, for consideration.
Recall that singer Tems bagged an award for the best African music performance ahead of Burna Boy, Davido, Asake and others.
Popular Nigerian socialite and celebrity barman Pascal Okechukwu, better known as Cubana Chief Priest has made fun of Afrobeat star Burna Boy after he lost out to colleague Tems at the recently concluded 2025 Grammy award.
Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ogulu Ebunoluwa, was nominated for his song ‘Higher’ for the best African music performance category alongside Tems (Love me Jeje), Yemi Alade (Tomorrow), Asake ft Wizkid (MMS), and Chris Brown ft Davido (Sensational).
Ultimately, Tems won the award at the ceremony held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 2.
Cubana Chief Priest, who has had ongoing conflicts with Burna Boy, posted on his Instagram story expressing his opinion. He claimed that Tems would have lost the Grammy award if the controversial US rapper Diddy hadn’t been arrested, taking swipe at the ‘Bundle by Bundle’ crooner.
He wrote, “If to say Diddy Dey outside dem for use Johnson baby oil rub away her Grammy.”
His post triggered massive reactions as social media users shared their thoughts via the comment section. Some reactions are shown below:
@praizmi said, “Without mentioning name, we all know who he’s referring to..”
@AgbeyegbeMarvis said, “Money na water wan burn the place now.”
@Charley_clipz said, “I don dey wait make him post since.”
@j99183 said, “Hand never touch cp nau why e dey misbehave.”
@BlackSh44p said, “Werey e pain am say davido no collect Grammy .”
@NEKWU242 said, “If Diddy was outside, he’d probably use Johnson’s Baby Oil to slick that Grammy right out of Tems’ hands! Cubana Chiefpriest giving Tems the “Watch out o!” talk! #Grammy.”
While some have started throwing heavy shades at Davido, famous social media critic Daniel Regha has reacted at the development by drumming his support for the superstar Afrobeats singer.
Recall that in a previous post, Intel Region reported that the 2025 Grammy Award, the 67th edition took place on Sunday, January 2nd 2025 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, United States of America (USA), despite the recent wildfires that have devastated parts of the city.
However, popular Nigerian singer Tems becomes the winner of the Best African Music Performance. Singer Tems “Love Me Jeje” beats tough contenders including Chris Brown’s Sensational featuring Davido & Lojay, Yemi Alade’s Tomorrow, Burna Boy’s Higher as well as Asake’s MMS featuring Wizkid.
While the likes of music executive Samklef among others have started mocking Davido claiming that the singer does not have the real talent to win the prestigious Grammy Award, social media critic, Daniel Regha who is well-known for criticizing Davido makes a U-Turn this time around.
According to Daniel Regha, the Grammy Award organized by the Recording Academy is not what determines the greatness of an artiste. He added that people who troll artiste for not winning Grammys know nothing about the music industry.
Daniel Regha tweeted; “Grammys aren’t what defines an artiste, it never has, and never will. The people who troll artists for not winning Grammy(s) know nothing about the music industry.”
@Vickthedawg: Same way I tried to explain here sometime ago that Messi winning more awards than Ronaldo doesn’t make him a better player I’m happy you’d agree now.
@DPablo2025: That’s what you think, then why Davido want it so bad, do u really know the meaning of Grammy. The name alone means a lot. if it was not, why do u think All those artists are dreaming about it?
@holuwapromise23 : bru this one wey you talk I no agree ontop ham besides if nah you drop I go buy Belgium or I tell my mama for you sha you go like ham but anyway to the next year own I hope hin win it.
@Winnies_domain: Ogbenni, go sleep jaree.
@oluwaace : And I’m guessing you know everything about the music industry as you have released so many songs and it’s making waves inside your palm oil rice and stew.
@AjMachalaa : Davido wey sow seed for pastor Tobi church because of Grammy na him u wan dey preach for. Make David catch you.
@AkposJim: Do u know more about the music industry?

She emphasised how her husband had never restricted her from acting.
“He lets me do what I want. But I have to respect that there is a limit I can go when I am acting, and I don’t need to be told.”

This post follows the backlash she received from netizens for thanking God hours after her husband’s second wife, Mercy Aigbe, listed her property in Nigeria.
The US-based Funsho Adeoti created a buzz online when she shared a Thanksgiving message hours after the fire incident.
Although there is a time difference in their location, many claimed Funsho’s Thanksgiving was insensitive amidst Mercy Aigbe’s loss. In contrast, others vouched for her, stating she always thanks God on her Instagram page.
Recall that Mercy Aigbe has expressed heartfelt gratitude to her well-wishers hours after she lost property worth millions of naira.

Rings are considered part of adornment in societies and culture. However, rings are not just worn on fingers, they carry with them some symbolism.
Not many people know this though.
What are these symbolisms?

Index finger – allegiance – leadership and ambition – mainly used for membership rings.
Thumb – strength of character – shows willpower and freedom of thought.
Rings, especially wedding rings, have become symbols of love and everlasting love because of the circle’s cyclical and eternal character. If you give each other wedding bands or exchange engagement rings, you are symbolically vowing that you will love and be devoted to one another for the rest of your lives together.
Couples intending to get engaged may wear promise rings on the left ring finger. In many cultures, the right ring finger symbolizes love and trust. In countries including Germany, Russia and India, wedding and engagement rings are worn on the right ring finger.
The spiritual meanings associated with rings encompass a wide spectrum, embracing concepts of eternity, unity, and devotion through their circular form. In some societies, rings can symbolise profound commitments to spiritual paths, serving as reminders of faith and beliefs.
Wearing a ring on the middle finger and not on the right finger is a clear way for a woman to communicate to the world that she is not engaged or married.

Nollywood box office actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi has broken down in tears as she speaks on bothering issues.
Toyin Abraham shared a photo of herself in tears while she laments the urgent need for better parenting. She spoke about the recent dramas that found their ways to the internet involving children assaulting and abusing each other.
She called the attention of parents to the “woke” attitude that underage children are displaying online even when the parents are not raised in the same manner.
“I am not happy on this Children’s Day
Happy Children’s Day to all children and to parents who were once children. As we celebrate this day, it is essential to acknowledge the need for better parenting. Recent online encounters and observations compel me to share this heartfelt message with every parent and guardian.
The quality of children we are raising today needs serious attention. We now have kids who see respect and courtesy as burdens. How do we feel reading some of the things the youths say to adults online under the guise of being “woke” or adopting a “no tolerance” attitude? Many of us were not raised the way we are raising our kids today. We are raising them with kid gloves because we believe times have changed. However, different times are not an excuse to raise disrespectful children.
Despite our age and blessings, there are still things we would not tell our parents, not out of fear, but out of respect. This Children’s Day should remind us to do better as parents and raise children who are respectful and kind. The recent tragic event at Ajayi Crowther University, where students killed a fellow student in the name of jungle justice, highlights the severe consequences of a lack of home training and moral values. Even if theft occurred, it does not justify taking another person’s life.
Respect, courtesy, responsibility, kindness, and hard work are values we were raised with. Although we may not have liked the discipline at the time, we are grateful to our parents today for instilling these values in us. We have a nation-building responsibility to raise the next generation of quality individuals.
Happy Children’s Day once again. May God keep our children for us, protect us from all forms of evil, and grant us a great celebration filled with wonderful experiences for the kids.
My name is Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi. I was once a little child, and I am now entrusted with the responsibility of raising quality children for a better society and nation.”
