Afrobeats singer Austine Kelechi, popularly known as Tekno Miles, has defended the controversial “brain-rot content” trend, otherwise called Olodo Uprising, claiming it is more entertaining than intellectual content.

Speaking in a recent interview with Yanga FM Lagos, the ‘Pana’ crooner claimed that intellectual content no longer works in Nigeria.

He said comedy and entertainment has never been about intelligence, stressing that Nigerians love Nollywood comic legends Nkem Owo aka Osuofia and John Okafor aka Mr Ibu because they were goofy and not for their intelligence.

Tekno said, “Intellectual no dey work again. Wetin I go do with your intellect? I can watch Carter Efe for hours and just be laughing at him just being goofy because that’s interesting. Back in the day, when you dey watch Osuofia and Mr Ibu, wetin make you been like them? No be the mumu wey dem dey mumu?”

Nollywood actress Ruth Kadiri has called on the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, to intensify efforts to tackle the circulation of fake and potentially harmful products in Nigeria.

In a recent video she posted on her Instagram handle, Kadiri expressed concern about the safety of products sold in the country and warned that counterfeit and contaminated food, drinks, medicines, cosmetics, and household products pose a serious threat to human lives.

“Dear Nigerians, I’m speaking to you today with a heavy heart and deep concern about the circulation of fake products in our country.

“Every day, people buy food, drinks, medicine, cosmetics, and household products believing that they are safe, but sadly, some are poorly produced, contaminated, harmful and mostly fake. This is not just a business problem; it’s a threat to human life. Imagine little children battling kidney failure.”

“I bought garlic, blended it, and went downstairs to get something, only for me to return and see the garlic colour has changed. A whole lot of other people with their experiences, I’m literally afraid of buying already packed drinks for my kids because I am scared of what the outcome of that drink will be.

“NAFDAC, please pay attention to the lives of Nigerians. Lots and lots of people are sick and are not getting better.

Nollywood actress, Damilola Adegbite has claimed that she has noticed a new trend in the Nigerian dating scene, where younger men are increasingly finding older women more attractive.

Speaking on her recent podcast, posted on her YouTube channel, Adegbite said society used to make women feel like they should exit the dating scene once they crossed a certain age, but that is now changing, as younger men now prefer older women.

Using the biblical analogy of the rejected stone becoming the chief cornerstone, the 41-year-old movie star said older women who were once overlooked have now become the “premium packages.”

She said, “When society made older women feel like once we have crossed a certain age, you should basically leave the dating market quietly. Meanwhile, the younger girls were supposedly getting all the attention. But now, the tables are turning.

“Honestly, I think Psalm 118:22 was onto something. You know that scripture about the stone which the builders rejected becoming the cornerstone? Maybe we should just say the older woman who was once overlooked has become the premium package.

“But seriously, why is this happening? A younger man will see a woman who is 38, 40 or 42 and say boldly, ‘I like you.’ And you are sitting there thinking, ‘Sorry, wait, are we doing this?’ And he is looking you dead in the eye like, ‘Yes, we are.’ And I think that confidence is attractive.”

Nigerian rapper, Tochukwu Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, has sparked reactions with his controversial claim that men who are not willing to make sacrifices for their partners, to the extent of laying down their lives, are “fools.”

Speaking in a recent episode of the In Motion Podcast, the “Wotowoto Seasoning” crooner said that, as a Christian, he is willing to die for his partner because the Bible instructs Christians to love their wives as Jesus loves the Church, and Jesus died for the Church.

The rapper said, “Any man who can’t die for his woman is foolish. I am a Christian, and Jesus Christ said we should love our wife like Christ loves the Church. And what did Christ do for the Church? He died for the Church.

“I am probably going to die before my wife, in Jesus’ name, because my wife is younger than me. Why should she die before me? It doesn’t make any sense. I should die before my wife. And when I die, it is my wife who will take and distribute my wealth to my children so that there will be no issue. It is my wife that will continue my legacy.”

Odumodublvck said it is unfortunate that, despite his support for women and his willingness to die for his partner, he has been maliciously tagged as a misogynist.

“The biggest misconception about me is that I am a misogynist. It bothers me a lot because it is such an unfair thing to say. I am willing to die for my girlfriend; does that seem like what a misogynist would do?” he asked.

“I will learn, become better, and do my very best to make you proud of Keivo the Challenger, the Competitor, the man of many talents, the son of Grace, the VICTOR.

“I came into Big Brother’s house hoping Nigerians would see who I am. I leave knowing that millions of people did. Thank you for loving me at my best, and thank you for holding me accountable for my actions.

Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has stated that he has asked God to take him when his time comes rather putting his family in distress.

Pete Edochie revealed this while speaking about his health status.

His comments came during a visit he made to an ailing colleague, actor Emmanuel, in Accra, Ghana during his legacy tour on Wednesday.

Sharing his health struggles to console Emmanuel, Pete, who disclosed that walking has become a problem for him, noted that most of the time wakes up with some parts of his body swollen.

While asking God to take him home when it’s time, Pete insisted that he does not want to be a burden to the people around him.

“Sitting down here, I’m not very well myself. I’m not. Walking is a problem for me now. I still have hope that I will recover. Sometimes I got up and discovered that some parts of my body were swollen and after sometimes, they go down again just like my hand is swollen now.

“I just keep asking God, you are the offer of life. Whenever you feel it’s time for me to go, just take me. Don’t let me bother the people who are around me. No, just take me.”
