Veteran Nigerian singer Chinagorom Onuoha, popularly known as African China, has opened up about how making conscious music endangered his life and how he was able to protect himself.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Beer Parlor Talk podcast, the Mr President crooner explained that at a point, he learned martial arts and also engaged in voodoo because the police, OPC and Area Boys were after him because of his controversial songs.

“I am a black belter. During my time, you need to know how to fight to survive in the music industry. I was not just learning martial art but also engaged in voodoo to protect myself…

“My life was in danger because I was making conscious music. I was running from police, OPC and Area Boys. Informants also helped me in escaping from the constant threats. OPC alway tried to harras me even when I was performing but the audience always give me signals whenever they are coming. So, OPC thought I was using voodoo to disappear. I was always at alert,” he recalled.

Obasi Emmanuel, Judy Austin’s ex-husband, has countered actor Yul Edochie’s marriage advice.

DAILY POST reports that Yul had earlier advised men to stop tolerating disrespect in marriage, claiming that respect is a man’s birthright: “Your respect as a man is non-negotiable.”

Yul’s stance about marriage has sparked mixed reactions online.

Responding to Yul in a Facebook post on Thursday evening, Judy Austin’s ex-husband, Obasi, who has accused Yul of snatching her from him, said: “If your only option is to run to another woman when you feel disrespected, you will build three football teams, including the fans, in your lifetime in the name of marriage.”

While stating that a real man’s strength lies in his ability to manage a woman’s excesses, Obasi, in a direct post to counter Yul’s advice, wrote: “Keep shouting, ‘Your respect as a man is non-negotiable.’ If you can’t take or control a woman’s excesses, you are not yet a man; you’re a boy. So you have to be very careful,” he said.

DAILY POST reports that Obasi has also called out Judy Austin for allegedly denying him access to their children after leaving their marriage to marry Yul.
