Nollywood star, Adunni Ade has expressed her admiration for her colleague, Ramsey Nouah.

Featuring in a recent episode of Hip TV programme Trending, hosted by reality star KimOprah, Ade revealed that she has always admired the veteran actor.

She disclosed that he was behind her decision to abandon her career as a model in America and relocate to Nigeria.

She said, “He [Ramsey Nouah] was the one who gave me confirmation to move to Nigeria. I met him before I came to Nigeria and I told him what my goals and aspirations were. And he gave me a very good pep talk and I moved down.

“Imagine from 2011 never getting to work with him. And this is someone you’ve always admired. Then during a film festival, I saw him and I went to exchange pleasantries as usual.

“The next day, I got a call from the producer Chris, his very good friend, and he said, ‘Adunni, what did you give Ramsey to eat? Ramsey just cast you.’

“I had goosebumps. I was so happy to work with him on set. He is so different when he is working. I’ve been featured in another project with him. I cannot disclose that right now. I have seen him as Ramsey Nouah the human being, Ramsey Nouah the director, and Ramsey Nouah the co-actor. He is just a phenomenal human being.”

Adunni Ade moved to Nigeria in 2011.

She landed her first Nollywood role when she acted in the Yoruba language film ‘You or I’ in 2013.

She has featured in over 250 Nollywood movies in both English and Yoruba languages.

A Nigerian singer, Idowu Adeyemi, better known as Yhemo Lee, and his wife, Oyin Tayo, also called Thayour B, are gearing up to welcome their first baby.

Yhemo Lee took to Instagram to share the news, posting a picture of himself and his wife, showing off her baby bump.

He playfully mentioned in the caption that his wife had accidentally let the cat out of the bag by posting the bump, so he decided to officially announce it himself.

He said: “Their mama don do mistake post am, Small YL otw [small Yhemolee on the way].”

Interestingly, the news comes just two weeks after the couple tied the knot. They had their white wedding on September 5, following a grand traditional ceremony on August 31.

Yhemolee looked dashing in a white tailcoat, black trousers, and a bow tie at the elegant corporate wedding.

Thayour B captivated all in attendance with her flowing, intricately embellished white gown and a bouquet of pristine white flowers. The couple’s elegant entrance and heartfelt vows were captured in countless viral videos.

A Nigerian lady known as Queen has opened up about her condition as an intersex, revealing that she has impregnated two women.

Queen, who lives in Lagos, made this revelation during an episode of Doyin’s CornerDoyin’s Corner, where she shared details about her life journey.

She said she discovered her condition at the age of 15 and has since had to come to terms with it, facing different challenges along the way.

“My parents did not tell me about it. I grew up and realised that I am a hermaphrodite—having both organs. I asked my parents how come I have two reproductive organs. They were thinking maybe I was a male until I grew up. At 15, I started growing two organs, then they later decided that I am a female.

“At birth, both organs were present, but they couldn’t figure out which one was active. At 15, a guy was trying to touch me, and I said, ‘No.’ In the end, he saw everything and got scared, wondering, ‘What kind of human being is this?’ I didn’t feel bad about it until I met a guy who made me feel bad. I thought it was normal until that guy’s incident. My mum told me the doctor said it was 50/50—if they removed one, I might lose my life or survive. Because of fear, they left it to see how things would turn out in the future,” she narrated.

“The male organ is the active one because, if I try to use the female organ, I don’t have any feeling through the female organ, but the male organ gives me all the feelings I want.

“I date women now because I do not feel anything for men, but my feelings are always strong with women.

“…I have not carried any pregnancy but I have impregnated two women. Women love me. They give me the love I deserve more than men,” Queen explained.

Queen also confessed that she feels more comfortable around women and is afraid of men because she’s unsure of their intentions.

According to her, she doesn’t have any physical attraction towards men, which has made her relationships with women more meaningful.

Speaking on how social media has helped her accept her reality, Queen said, “Ever since I joined social media, I feel excited and no longer feel bad because I have been advised to face reality. But when I was not on social media, I felt bad and I was also suicidal because I thought I was a different human.”

Queen added that living life as a man brings her joy and a sense of fulfilment, which she doesn’t experience in relationships with men.

Cardi B and her estranged husband Offset, who are parents to 6-year-old daughter Kulture and 2-year-old son Wave, welcomed their third baby together more than a month after filing for divorce.

“The prettiest lil thing,” Cardi captioned a Sept. 12 Instagram post featuring photos of their family at the hospital, noting the birth date, “9/7/24.”

The “WAP” rapper announced her pregnancy—just hours after filing for a divorce from the 32-year-old rapper—on Aug. 1 by showing off her bump in an Instagram post captioned, “With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all!”

“You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do,” she continued. “It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”

And according to her recent divorce filing, this mother of three requested primary custody of their kids along with child support from the Migos alum.

The petition stated that Cardi and Offset had “experienced irreconcilable differences that have caused the breakdown of the marriage” and that “there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.”

The on-again, off-again couple—who tied the knot in 2017—have taken time apart a few times throughout their relationship, with their first split occurring in 2018 amid cheating rumors.

The duo reunited in 2019, packing on the PDA at awards shows, before breaking up again in 2020—resulting in Cardi filing for divorce. She dismissed the proceedings later that year, but by 2023, they had called it quits again. After a New Year’s Eve reunion in 2024, the “Up” singer shared insight into their complicated relationship and the status of their marriage.

“We think it through, because we do love each other,” Cardi told Rolling Stone in May 2024. “It’s not even about love. We’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.’ It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?”

But as the two closed another chapter of their relationship in August, the 31-year-old was left to not only deal with the physical effects of her pregnancy, but to address social media rumors that began to suspect the artist of bleaching her skin.

When an X user asked Cardi about the allegations, she clapped back with her response, “Bleaching while pregnant? Why must yall be so dumb ? Actually NO !”

“I’m pregnant I’m slightly anemic,” she continued, shedding light on the painful realities of pregnancy, “this baby suckin all the energy off my body to the point I’m pale,eyes sunken ,veins green ASF,can’t tan under the sun cause I get hot super fast and dizzy ….PLEAE STOP  THINKIN WITH YOUR A–HOLE!”

Wunmi, the widow of the late Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad, has penned an emotional tribute honouring their time together, stating that the singer’s passing has brought her unbearable pain.

The rapper and songwriter died under mysterious circumstances on 12th September 2023. A Coroner’s Court in Ikorodu, established by the Lagos State Government, is working to uncover the circumstances surrounding the singer’s death.

Key witnesses summoned by the court include Azeez Fashola, also known as Naira Marley; Samson Eletu, alias Sam Larry; Mohbad’s sister-in-law, Karimot Ogunbayo; Mohbad’s lawyer, Oluwasanmi Falade; the nurse who allegedly treated the deceased singer during this period, Feyisayo Ogedengbe; and the driver who transported him to the hospital, Fidelis Esanbor.

In a tribute shared on her Instagram story on Thursday, Wunmi, who shares a son, Liam, with the singer, expressed that she will never come to terms with Mohbad’s death.

She wrote: “Ilerioluwa mi, Husband of my youth, my best friend! It’s been a year today — a year since you left me and our Liam in this cold world. It’s been so hard. I miss you so much. Liam misses you too. I wish you were here to see him; you would have been an incredible father. I still don’t know how I’ve survived without you.

“God, I wish you were here every single day — every millisecond of the day. Your passing brought me unbearable pain, but it has also shaped me. I’ve learned so much, and I’m still learning. I’ll never be okay with you not being here; it messes with my head. I keep thinking it’s a nightmare I’ll wake up from, but 366 days have passed, and I haven’t. Oko mi, we had so many plans together, and you had so much more to give to this world. It hurts deeply to know that all our dreams, everything you worked so hard for, are now gone with you.

“I want you to know that Liam and I are holding on to the strength and love you gave us. Every day, I see pieces of you in him—your kindness, your smile, your spirit. I promise to raise him with the same love and care you would have given him, keeping your memory alive in every step of his life. But today, I choose to celebrate you. Today, I choose to honour your legacy. Today, I choose to give all glory to God for blessing me with you, Ilerioluwa. Today, I choose to be grateful for the gift of Liam—the beauty of our ashes.

“My love, I pray for your soul today. I ask that God forgive you for all your shortcomings and welcome you to rest at His right hand. I hope it’s always a celebration up there for you. I love you so much. Thank you for Liam—I’m forever grateful for the gift of him! Fly high with the angels, love of my life.”

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Southwest Zone, on Friday, appealed to the Federal Government to reverse its decision on the invalidation of degrees from Benin Republic and Togo, saying the action affects over 22,000 Nigerian students.

The Southwest Coordinator, John Alao, the Zonal Secretary General, Sanni Sulaimon Olamide, and Zonal Public Relations Officer, Peter Oluwadamilola Bamigboye, in a statement, said the student body was distressed to note that thousands of graduates who invested heavily in their education abroad have been rendered uncertain about their future.

“In line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President, who has declared that no Nigerian student will be forced to drop out of school, it is distressing to note that thousands of graduates who invested heavily in their education abroad have been rendered uncertain about their future.

“This decision not only undermines their academic achievements but also places them in a precarious position, potentially exposing them to anti-government elements eager to exploit their frustration.

“We acknowledge the government’s concern over the rise of substandard educational institutions and the need to curb academic racketeering.

“However, the outright ban on degrees from Benin Republic and Togo without due diligence, particularly when these certificates were once validated, is both unfair and discriminatory.

“We urge the government to reconsider this decision, as it risks driving talented young Nigerians into the arms of unrest, insurrections, and anti-government activities.

“Nigeria has one of the largest youth populations in the world, with over 70 per cent of our population under the age of 30.

“Many of these young people are struggling in a harsh economic environment, seeking any opportunity for education and betterment.

“By invalidating their degrees and leaving them without recourse, we risk deepening youth unemployment, crime, and insecurity in the country.”

They appealed to the government to do the right thing and protect the future of Nigerian students.

They said: “It is our belief that the government should implement a more targeted approach in addressing the concerns of academic fraud.

“Rather than a blanket ban, the authorities should review each institution on a case-by-case basis, collaborating with regional educational bodies to ensure standards are met.

“The government must also engage in dialogue with affected students, providing alternatives and solutions to mitigate the impact of this decision.

“We appeal for the Federal Government’s intervention to ensure that the rights and future of Nigerian students are protected.

“Let us not allow isolated cases to cast a shadow on the legitimate efforts of thousands of Nigerian students. We trust in the government’s wisdom to make a fair, just, and practical decision that will ensure peace and progress in our nation.”
