Famous Nigerian actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo, popularly known as RMD, has joined in the fight against gender-based violence in Nigeria.

He took up the fight after emerging as a key stakeholder in the Male Feminists Network on Friday.

In his remarks in Abuja, the 65-year-old veteran actor, called for more inclusion of women, especially in government.

He said, “Personally, when I did a film two years ago, I had like 80 percent women in the crew. And I always say to people in my profession, if you want to have anything done in government, put a woman in charge, and you can sleep with ‘your eyes closed.’”

He also charged men not to objectify women but to treat them with respect.

“Just give respect to women and treat them like human beings. Or treat them like the way you would treat your daughter or your wife, with respect, with dignity. You know, don’t objectify them, don’t perpetrate violence. Correcting them does not mean hitting and beating them. It is easier to talk to people these days than to just use your fist.”

Speaking on the fight against GBV, RMD urged men to take responsibility for changing harmful attitudes and behaviors, insisting that ending violence against women is not a struggle women should fight alone.

“There are institutionalized and systemic ways that women’s rights are trampled upon in Nigeria, and it is not something only women can fight. We also have to lend our voices to organizations working for women’s rights and against gender-based violence,” he said.

On his part, a public affairs analyst and gender advocate, Dr. Otive Igbuzor, said experience has shown that traditional, important personalities and religious leaders can become powerful allies in preventing gender-based violence.

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Doyin David has shared candid advice to incoming housemates ahead of the premiere of the eleventh edition of the reality show. 

Speaking at the BBNaija Season 11 pre-show media launch in Lagos on Thursday, Doyin advised the incoming housemates not to be boring or overly conscious about their reputations while in the house.

She urged them to express themselves freely even if it means facing consequences later.

“My advice to the incoming BBNaija Season 11 housemates is, don’t be boring, don’t be a furniture. Don’t be scared of people judging you.

“Say whatever you want to say and do whatever you want to do. You will deal with consequences later,” she said.

“Also, learn how to have fun by yourself. When you are in that house, you might not have a lot of friends but you need to be able to stand alone and don’t be depressed about it,” Doyin added. 

According to the organizers, Big Brother Naija Season 11 will officially launch on July 26, 2026.

Popular reality TV star and actress, Bisola Aiyeola has opened up about how uncontrolled loyalty made her take sides and got involved in fights that weren’t hers.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Dear Ife podcast, the movie star said she used to “inherit” her loved ones, friends and colleagues’ beefs and fights even without hearing from the other persons but stopped after someone she inherited their beef made her an “outsider” after reconciling with the person they were beefing. 

Aiyeola said while she doesn’t expect her friends to “inherit” her beefs, she thinks that it’s unfair for them to be friends with her ex or even date him.

“I have been in a situation where I have taken a fight that are not mine. I do inherit my friends’ beef to an extent. I have done that before. Not just for people who are my best friends but also for acquaintances and colleagues. I did it even without hearing from the other person. 

“But I have also been in a situation where I inherited someone’s fight and then they eventually settled and I became the outsider. So, I told myself it’s not everybody’s fight and beef that I would inherit. 

“I don’t expect people to inherit my beef but if I have an ex-fiance and my best friend decides to bond with him, we are not friends. I have cut ties with men who were dating and quarrelling with my best friends,” she stated.
