Veteran Nollywood actress, Victoria Inyama, has revealed the best thing that has ever happened to her.

She made the revelation during an Instagram live season with Daddy Freeze.

Discussing about Female genital mutilation, FGM, popularly referred to as circumcision, Victoria noted that the procedure has helped her to control her sexual urges.

While describing the procedure as the best thing that has ever happened to her, she also revisited the trauma after being circumcised at the age of five.

“FGM is evil. You now have to deal with the consequences. I was circumcised because I grew up with my grandmother in the village. That’s the best thing that they did for me because it is helping me a lot.

“If I say I no dey do, I no dey do. And that is the power that I have. That’s why nobody can say they’ve seen me with a man in any hotel”, she said.

I found out my husband was angry with me through email – Temi Otedola

Temi Otedola, wife of Nigerian singer, Mr Eazi, has revealed that her husband keeps malice with her whenever he gets upset with her instead of confronting her.
Speaking in an episode of their joint podcast, the actress described her husband’s action as “a bit childish.”

She recalled an incident when she found out her husband was angry with her through email.

“The way I found out that Tosin [Mr Eazi] was actually angry with me on a Monday was that he sent me a long message. And bear in mind that we are sitting in the same flat. I was minding my business, responding to my mails and I got a message saying everything he was upset about me for. While I was reading it my body was already becoming hot. At some point, I couldn’t even read it because I was so angry.

“Because I have asked him ten times if he was upset with me and he said nothing. Honestly, if you’re in the same flat as someone do I think it is a bit childish to not go up and speak to them? Yes. But that is what you’re comfortable with. You find it easier to express yourself by typing. I have gotten some long *ss emails in the past. At least you’re getting it out. But it would be nice if you could just sit down with me and have it out,” she expressed.

Responding, Mr Eazi admitted that he is more comfortable expressing himself through typing.

He pointed out that he wasn’t able to explicitly express his concerns during past one-on-one dialogues.

“I would prefer to sit down with you and talk things out. But I see that sometimes when we sit down to talk, I don’t hit the nail on the head. Also, I think if I communicate during tense moments, I might sound too harsh.

“I don’t think texting someone you’re sitting next to is the best way to communicate. But that is my way. And everybody just needs to find what their way of communication is and communicate. For me, it’s typing. When I want to really express myself, I can do it via typing better than speaking it. Because then I can read it again and crosscheck my tone,” he said.

Turkey: Okan Buruk under fire over reliance on Osimhen as Galatasaray struggle

Former Turkey international, Erman Toroğlu has directed criticism towards Okan Buruk regarding Galatasaray’s recent lack of consistency following Victor Osimhen’s injury.

Osimhen suffered an arm injury during the second leg of Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool at Anfield in March, which has sidelined him at a pivotal moment in the season.

In his absence, the Yellow-Reds found it challenging to maintain their form, achieving only one victory in their last three league encounters.

During this timeframe, Galatasaray experienced a 2-1 loss to Trabzonspor, secured a 3-1 win against Göztepe, and were held to a 1-1 draw by Kocaelispor.

In statements reported by Habersarikirmizi, Toroğlu criticized Buruk’s management of the team, implying that the squad has become excessively dependent on Osimhen.

“There was Icardi, there was Osimhen, there was Okan Buruk. Now Osimhen is absent, Okan Buruk is absent. It’s that straightforward,” Toroğlu remarked.

“If you are reliant on just one player in such a large squad, the responsibility lies with you. Okan Buruk failed to manage this team. Osimhen was the one directing you on the pitch.”

Toroğlu also raised concerns about Buruk’s treatment of Icardi, asserting that the Argentine forward has struggled with his form due to inconsistent playing time.

“You attempted to substitute Icardi in the 89th minute because Osimhen was present, and you marginalized him. You did this, you did that, yet your team simply did not perform,” he continued.

Osimhen has resumed training and is nearing a return to play before the month concludes.

The Nigerian international is anticipated to be fit for the match against Fenerbahçe, with indications that he may first be included in the squad for the game against Gençlerbirliği.

His return would offer a timely advantage for Buruk as Galatasaray aims to regain momentum in the title race after losing crucial points in recent weeks.

UCL: Thierry Henry compares Lamine Yamal with Cristiano Ronaldo

Former France striker, Thierry Henry, has compared Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal with Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Henry was providing analysis for Barca’s Champions League quarter-final second leg clash at Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.

According to him, Yamal was as “fearless” as Ronaldo, with the 18-year-old backing up his pre-match talk by opening the scoring at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Although Ferran Torres levelled the tie on aggregate, Ademola Lookman’s goal saw Barcelona eliminated.

Henry said: “This is what a young Cristiano Ronaldo used to do: he could talk boldly in interviews and back it up on the pitch.

“Yamal said he would carry Barcelona single-handedly, and barely two minutes into the game, he had already scored. But what impresses me even more is his fearlessness.”

Nigerian men scared of bold, confident women – Phyna claims

Former Big Brother Naija winner, Josephine Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has claimed that she is still single because Nigerian men are scared of confident and independent women.

Speaking during a recent livestream on Twitch, the reality star claimed that most Nigerian men prefer women they can control when choosing a life partner and avoid independent women.

The actress said she is, however, not bothered by the trend, stressing that she can’t change herself to fit into a man’s expectations.

“I am a ten over ten. The thing is just that men are scared of bold and confident women. There are someone women that by mere looking at them you know that you can’t control them. But our Nigerian men like women that they can control.

“They don’t want women who have says or are exposed. So, we that are very loud about how we are, even without they meeting us, they are already scared and forming assumptions. But I really don’t care,” she expressed.

UCL: How PSG, Liverpool players reacted after 4-0 aggregate result

Some Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool players have reacted after both sides’ UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg encounter.

PSG defeated Liverpool 2-0 in the fixture at Anfield, England, on Tuesday night.

Ousmane Dembele scored both goals of the encounter to send the Parisians to the Champions League semi-final stage.

The outcome of the match meant the French Ligue 1 champions progressed to the next stage on a 4-0 aggregate win, having won 2-0 in the first leg last week in Paris.

Reacting, PSG forward Ousmane Dembele told Prime Video: “We’re so happy that we were able to win this game because it was really difficult, especially the second half.

On his part, PSG captain Marquinhos told Canal+: “Liverpool used their strengths, but we were solid. Then we finally scored. You have to know how to do that and be strong when things get tough. We knew we weren’t qualified after the first leg, so the mentality was to win.”

Similarly, PSG goalkeeper, Matvei Safonov, said: “We’re certainly very happy. It was a really tough match. We’re glad we managed to win in the end. We showed that we came here to win, which is important. It’s very emotional to be in the semi-finals. It’s a wonderful feeling.”
