  • “Sex Has a Lot to Do With a Woman’s Glow,” Iyabo Ojo Shares Beauty Secret

    Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has opened up about the secret behind her youthful appearance, her journey as a single mother and the reasons she has become less outspoken in recent years.

    The actress made the remarks during an appearance on Morayo’s Show, where she spoke about beauty, family and personal growth.

    ‘Sex contributes to a woman’s glow’

    When asked about the secret behind her radiant look despite raising her children as a single mother, Iyabo responded with a smile.

    “Sex has a lot to do with a woman’s glow,” she said.

    The actress also reflected on overcoming the stigma often associated with single motherhood, saying her achievements leave her feeling fulfilled.

    “It makes me feel good, happy, and fulfilled,” she added.

    Why she has become quieter

    Speaking on why she has become less confrontational despite being widely known as the “Queen Mother,” Iyabo said her priorities have changed since becoming a grandmother.

    According to her, she now avoids unnecessary public disputes because she does not want her daughter, who is now married, to be affected by negative attention.

    “I have piped down because of my grandson now. My daughter is married, so when I keep fighting, the opposite side is going to come up with different false allegations, and I don’t want her going through any stress,” she said.

    Despite her decision to reduce public confrontations, the actress maintained that she would not hesitate to speak up whenever she believes it is necessary.

    “But if the need arises for me to speak up, then I will,” she said.

  • Temi Otedola Says She Won’t Deny Being a ‘Nepo Baby’

    Nigerian actress and media personality Temi Otedola has openly acknowledged that she is a beneficiary of nepotism, saying she has no reason to deny the opportunities that came with being born into a wealthy and influential family.

    Temi made the remarks during an episode of The How Far Podcast, which she co-hosts with her husband, Mr Eazi.

    ‘I’m a nepo baby’

    Addressing the growing conversation around privilege and family influence, Temi said people often confuse privilege with nepotism, even though both terms have different meanings.

    According to her, privilege provides access to better opportunities and resources, while nepotism involves benefiting directly from family connections and influence.

    She said she has no intention of pretending her background did not contribute to her success.

    “You can never catch me on or off camera saying I’m not a nepo baby,” she said.

    ‘People should be honest’

    Temi, the daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, said she finds it surprising when people refuse to acknowledge the role their family background has played in opening doors for them.

    She maintained that being honest about privilege is better than denying obvious advantages.

    Her comments have since sparked conversations online, with many social media users sharing differing opinions on privilege, nepotism and merit in the entertainment industry.

  • King Mitchy Begs Tinubu to Tackle Insecurity, Fires Back at VeryDarkMan

    Popular Nigerian TikTok influencer and philanthropist, Michelle Mukoro, widely known as King Mitchy, has generated reactions online after publicly appealing to President Bola Tinubu to urgently address the growing insecurity across Nigeria.

    In a viral video shared online, King Mitchy emotionally called on the President to take stronger action against killings, kidnappings, and attacks affecting different parts of the country.

    King Mitchy Speaks on Insecurity

    Addressing President Tinubu directly, the influencer said she believed the President meant well for Nigerians but urged him to intensify efforts toward restoring security nationwide.

    “Even though I am afraid to say this, I need to speak honestly, sir. I truly believe you do not want bad for Nigerians,” she said.

    “You are an elderly man. I do not believe you look at this country and want to destroy it. But please, do something about the insecurity.”

    She referenced recent attacks and abductions reported in states including Oyo, Borno, and Kwara, stressing that ordinary Nigerians were living in fear.

    The video quickly circulated across social media platforms, with many users praising her for speaking openly on national issues.

    VeryDarkMan Reacts

    The situation later escalated after social media activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, reacted to the video with a mocking comment.

    VeryDarkMan reportedly wrote “Crack” under posts linked to the video, a comment many interpreted as dismissive.

    King Mitchy responded angrily during a TikTok live session, accusing the activist of trying to silence her voice and undermine her efforts.

    “Do you want to spoil my life? Do you want to be the only person speaking for Nigerians?” she reportedly said during the livestream.

    She also described VeryDarkMan as “mad” while defending her right to express concerns about the country.

    Longstanding Online Rivalry

    The latest confrontation adds to the ongoing feud between both influencers, which has continued for months over issues involving philanthropy, public donations, and alleged political affiliations.

    VeryDarkMan had previously criticised some of King Mitchy’s charity activities and questioned reported links between the influencer and Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu.

    Supporters of King Mitchy praised her calm but bold message to the government, while critics argued that her comments toward the President were too mild considering the country’s security situation.

    The exchange has continued trending online as Nigerians debate insecurity, activism, and the role of influencers in holding leaders accountable.

    The reality star claimed the activist made unwanted sexual advances toward her while he was helping with the case.

    According to reports, she also shared alleged chat screenshots where VeryDarkMan supposedly expressed sexual interest in her.

    Phyna further accused him of sabotaging discussions involving representatives connected to the accident case and claimed his public involvement complicated efforts surrounding justice for her late sister.

    “I’m not shading anyone. I just feel it’s not right as a baddie to set camera, edit sad music and start crying, it’s weird,” he said.

    The social media personality further advised people to avoid cosmetic surgery if they might later regret their decisions or publicly complain about life struggles afterward.

    “Better Start Garri Business”

    “The moment you do BBL, boobs, face haaa you don arrive be that o… na to pepper all your enemies be that,” he stated.

    The actress explained that she initially struggled with fatigue and severe morning sickness during the first trimester.

  • Tiwa Savage Opens Up on Why She Misses Don Jazzy, Mavin Records After Exit

    Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage has spoken candidly about the emotional support she enjoyed while signed to Mavin Records, admitting she did not fully appreciate it until after leaving the label.

    The singer made the revelation during a recent episode of the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast hosted by Joey Akan, where she reflected on the difference between local and foreign record labels.

    “I Didn’t Appreciate It Until I Left”

    She explained that during difficult moments, she often found comfort among members of the label.

    “Who you signed to is very important and I didn’t appreciate it until after I left Mavin,” she said.

    “Whenever there’s a controversy online I’d run to Don Jazzy’s room, sit on the floor or bed with other Mavin acts and we would talk about it. I would cry if I had to cry and we would get through it.”

    Singer Speaks on Foreign Labels

    Tiwa Savage also opened up about her experience after leaving Mavin Records in 2019 to sign with Universal Music Group.

    According to her, foreign labels often focus more on business and less on the emotional wellbeing of artists.

    The singer stressed that upcoming artists should be careful about the kind of label they sign with, warning that some companies only see artists as profit-making machines.
