However, they only gave him one condition – Never leave Jesus Christ. Speaking with  Sunday Scoop,  Reekado said: “My parents have always been supportive and they want the best for their children.

Funke Akindele’s husband speaks on Toyo Baby’s exit from Jenifa’s Diary

Image
Days ago, Jenifa Diary actor, Toyosi reportedly left the productions after a misunderstanding with Funke and all fingers were pointing at you, what really happened? I don’t know why Toyosi left and it has nothing to do with me. Just like any character in a TV series, she can go and return. The only permanent character in the series is Jenifa. Falz has gone and came back. In the script Toyosi is married and has gone to France with her husband to live for a while. So, anything can happen. When she comes back, you’d see her on screen, if not, then that’s what the script said. But it was also reported that Funke un-followed her on social media…..true? Well, I don’t know about that. I’m not 100 percent sure of that. I’ll have to check Instagram to find out about that.

Buhari was on Wednesday absent from the Federal Executive Council meeting and the Juma’at service at the mosque in the Presidential Villa on Friday. Soyinka said, “Why is the President hiding his state of health? He’s supposed to understand he’s public property; me, I’m still private property, that’s why I’m not in Aso Rock (Presidential Villa). “Once you are in Aso Rock, or you occupy a similar position, you have a responsibility to come out frankly to your citizens. “Let him address the nation a

My mom has no influence on my music career — Mayorkun

Image
Up till now, not many know that Eleko crooner,  Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, popularly known as Mayorkun, is the son of veteran Nollywood actress, Toyin Adewale. The reason is not far from the fact that the fast rising singer has struggled to create a unique identity of his own, devoid of his mom’s influence. Since his debut single, Eleko, shot him to limelight after signing on to Davido’s record label, DMW, Mayorkun has battled to isolate himself from his mom’s influence on his music career because he needed to prove to the public that hard work is what has been responsible for his success so far. According to Mayorkun, it irks his ego whenever news goes to town that his mom’s influence is what has helped his music career. Mayorkun In an exclusive chat with Showtime, he explained that contrary to what the public thinks, his mom hardly knows any hip-hop artiste. He boasted that she rides on the wings of his success in the music industry and not the other way round. “First, no disrespe
