Nigerian reality star and actress, Bisola Aiyeola has opened up about her initial psychological struggles with being a single mother.

In a candid interview with Tope Olowoniyan, the movie star shared that she was traumatised when she discovered that she was going to have a child out of wedlock because her mother was also a single mum.

Aiyeola recalled that she was ashamed and scared that the trend could become a family pattern that would extend even to her own daughter.

“I was scared and ashamed of being pregnant and having a baby out of wedlock. I thought I was going to get married because I was engaged at that time but we never got married.

“So it was so shameful because my mum was a single mum and I am about to become one, I feared my child might also have the same fate,” she recalled.

The actress said her family’s economic condition at that time also made the thought of having a baby unbearable for her, adding that she struggled with breastfeeding her daughter when she was borne because she couldn’t believe that was her reality at that time.

The 40-year-old explained that with time, she began to accept her fate and cherish her daughter more regardless of the circumstances surrounding her birth.

She said looking back now, she was grateful for having her daughter and all the lessons from her experience.

Nigerian gospel artiste Judikay has opened up about suffering six miscarriages, revealing that the most recent occurred in February 2025.

In a video shared on her Instagram page, the singer spoke candidly about the physical pain and emotional trauma she faced following the loss, which happened after she had crossed the three-month stage of pregnancy.

Narrating her experience, she explained how what initially felt like mild discomfort soon turned into a heartbreaking situation.

“In February 2025, I experienced a pain that almost crushed me. I was pregnant for well over three months. One of these days, I was going about my day when I started to experience cramps,” she said.

“I said, ‘Oh, okay, it was one of those things.’ And then trickles of blood, and I said, ‘Oh, spotting’. If you are a woman who has been pregnant before, you will know what spotting refers to.

“And then I had the urge to use the washroom. And what I thought should be urine was blood. It did not stop. It kept flowing. And I was devastated because I understood what that meant automatically.

“This baby that I lost, that has gone past three months, mark the sixth one.”

She disclosed that she was taken to the hospital, where doctors carried out a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure following what was diagnosed as a missed miscarriage.

Reflecting on the aftermath, Judikay said she initially tried to stay strong but later struggled with deep grief, especially at night.

“I was rushed to the hospital, and they did a D&C on me because it was a missed miscarriage,” she added.

“And when I returned home, I thought I was okay. I had cried and shouted whilst they broke the baby and brought the pieces.

“Everyone would ask, and I would say God gets the glory.

“But then in the silence of the night, I would experience a pain that I could not express. I would wail and cry and say, ‘Jesus, where are you?”

Known for popular worship songs like “More Than Gold” and “Songs of Angel: Ndimozi Binigwe,” Judikay got married to Anselem Opara in 2020, and the couple welcomed their first child in 2022.

Two out of the three laboratories authorized by the Magistrate Court sitting in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, have declined paternity tests on late singer Mohbad’s alleged son, Liam.

This comes amid the ongoing dispute between Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba and his widow, Wunmi.

DAILY POST recalls that the Magistrate Court had three weeks ago approved three laboratories in the United States and United Kingdom for the DNA tests on Liam.

The court had independently picked Advanced Histopathology Laboratory Limited, London, United Kingdom
while Wunmi submitted Alpha Bio Labs in Warrington, United Kingdom. Mohbad’s father picked DNA Diagnostics Centre, Fairfield, Ohio, US.

However, in a statement on Thursday, the counsel to the singer’s father, Oladayo Ogungbe, disclosed that the two laboratories picked by Wunmi and the court have indicated that “they do not conduct post-mortem DNA testing involving embalmed bodies”.

Ogungbe explained that Advanced Histopathology Laboratory Limited, London, United Kingdom, and Alpha Bio Labs, Warrington, United Kingdom, made this known after preliminary inquiries by Joseph Aloba’s representative to ascertain whether the listed laboratories possessed the technical capacity to conduct such test.

DAILY POST reports that singer Mohbad mysteriously died in September 2023, and buried the next day. His body was exhumed after seven days following public outcry.

Following the circumstances surrounding his death, his father demanded a DNA test on his son.

DAILY POST recalls that Kafayat had, during an interview on Talk to B podcast, called out the Fuji musician for forcefully taking away their remaining two kids after the death of their first child, Jamal, who died three weeks ago.

However, in a new Instagram post, ‘Talk to B’ host, actress, Biola Adebayo announced that Kafayat has regained custody of her children through the help of some well-meaning Nigerians and the Lagos State government through the State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, DSVA.

The wife of renowned Nigerian cleric, Enoch Adeboye, Pastor Foluke Adeboye, has opened up about the drastic personal sacrifice she made after giving her life to Christ.

In a resurfaced throwback video currently circulating online, Folu Adeboye shared how her lifestyle changed dramatically in the early days of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG.

She revealed that before becoming born again, she had a strong passion for fashion and owned several gold items, including jewellery that she had already set aside for her young child, who was under two years old at the time.

However, after joining the church where wearing such items was discouraged, she made a bold decision to part with them entirely.

“Every woman loves fashion,” she said. “By the time we became born again, it was a taboo for you to have them.”

Rather than keep or sell the valuables, Folu said she threw all her gold possessions into the lagoon.

She recalled that a family friend had questioned her choice, suggesting she could have given the items to her mother to sell. But she declined.

“Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother,” she explained.

Folu also revealed that she briefly turned to copper accessories as an alternative, admitting she spent significantly on them at the time.

Despite the scale of her sacrifice, she maintains she has no regrets.

“What would I say I miss? Not much, I have already sold myself,” she added.

Afrobeats singer, Mr Real has criticised his colleagues and Nigerian music fans for releasing new music and going to clubs despite the escalating insecurity in the country.

Speaking in a recent video broadcast, the Legbegbe crooner accused his fellow musicians of being insensitive for continuing to release music despite the security situation in the country.

Mr Real explained that he has been unable to drop new music due to the current mood of the nation.

He said, “I wake up to terrible news everyday. I am even scared to drop songs because of the terrible things happening in Nigeria. Artists who are releasing songs are trying because I don’t know the kind of mind they have. How do some artists do it?

“This country is burning. People are dying. Some individuals have turned insecurity to business and we still go to club. That is the problem.

“You can argue that you have your own life to life. I also can’t deny that I don’t club or enjoy my life. But can’t you see that it is not normal? It is like we are under a spell to be docile no matter how worse things get. Is it normal?”

Veteran Nigerian filmmaker and producer, Wale Adenuga, has addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding the iconic comedy Papa Ajasco and Company, following claims by actor Abiodun Ayoyinka about challenges tied to the role.

A statement by the chairman of the Wale Adenuga Productions dismissed allegations of exploitation and financial neglect by the actor, describing such narratives as “entirely false and misleading.”

Recall that Ayoyinka, popularly known for his role as Papa Ajasco, had in a recent interview alleged that trademark of the character he played, limited his opportunities outside the long-running comedy series.

But in a rebuttal, Adenuga said his initial reaction to the trending video of Ayoyinka was one of surprise, stating “My first impression when I watched the Papa Ajasco video now trending on the internet and local TV channels was ‘Okay, so this guy has taken Papa Ajasco comedy into the public space?

“It is all well and good. I am happy for him, as his money-making strategy using social media has apparently worked for him.”

While acknowledging Ayoyinka’s talent and contribution, Adenuga stressed that the “Papa Ajasco” brand remains legally protected.

“He cannot use the copyrighted brand name Papa Ajasco for personal ventures because it is our duty to protect the brand from inappropriate usage that could damage its reputation,” he said.

He further clarified that the actor is not restricted from taking up other jobs: “He has not been barred from accepting advert jobs… all that is required is to seek official approval from WAP. This is part of brand protection.”

Adenuga went on to highlight Ayoyinka’s background as a retired civil servant, noting that he served over three decades with the Lagos State Government.

He also disclosed that the actor had benefited from several incentives over the years.

“On the car issue, we once gave him a car and Pa James as well. He has also used not less than five cars, including a Mercedes-Benz, at different times,” Adenuga stated.

Questioning claims of financial hardship, he asked: “Why is Abiodun Ayoyinka claiming to be broke? Where are the investments from his over 30 years of meritorious service… What happened to his gratuities?”

Adenuga also noted that other cast members of the series, including Pa James and other popular characters, continue to take on independent roles outside the show.

He explained the production structure, saying: “Abiodun Ayoyinka and other artistes in the TV show are on our set for six weeks in a whole year, thereby availing them enough time to pursue other endeavours.”

He added that within that period, “we record enough episodes to last for a year.”

Reaffirming the company’s reputation, Adenuga stated: “Wale Adenuga Productions has remained reputable over the years.The organisation pays according to industry standards and ensures all financial obligations are fulfilled as and when due.”

He concluded by reiterating that “any narrative suggesting financial abandonment or exploitation by our organization is entirely false and misleading.”

Popular Tiktoker and streamer, Peller has shared his opinion about Nigerian music artists.

Speaking during a recent livestream in Enugu, Peller said from his experience following and collaborating with Nigerian musicians, he discovered that only few of them are kind.

He claimed that a lot of Nigerian musicians prefer granting interviews to foreign influencers and media personalities, adding that they only turn to Nigerian media personalities when their fame is beginning to dwindle.

“Nigerian mmusicians don’t rate local streamers. They will be streaming with Americans, but when they don turn old taker, na then dem go dey find Naija streamers up and down.

“I don catch their scope. Very ffew Nigerian usicians are kind. Davido, Olamide and Tiwa savage are among the few kind ones,” he said.

Peller urged Nigerian entertainers, especially musicians, to embrace local media and influencers, irrespective of their newfound global stardom.
