Nollywood stars, Wumi Toriola, and Seyi Edun have renewed their friendship after years of conflict.

The two former best friends’ reconciliation became public when Seyi celebrated Wumi’s birthday and revealed that they have chosen “growth, understanding and a fresh start.”

While tagging their feud as a test of time, Seyi wrote on Instagram “They say time and distance can test a friendship, but they can also prove how deep the roots go together. Reconnecting with you has been one of the highlights of my year, and it reminded me of the beautiful bond we have always had.”

“Our reconnection has shown me just how much our bond matters. I’m so glad we chose growth, understanding, and a fresh start”, she said.

Confirming the development, Wumi wrote in the comments section “Ashabi i genuinely miss us. Love you so much dear friend and thanks for the huge gift. I’m grateful we came back to our senses. Love you.”

The fight between the two best friends started in October 2020 after Seyi Edun publicly ignored Wumi’s son, Zion’s one-year birthday.

Seyi failed to celebrate him on social media, and was also not seen at the birthday party despite her bond with the mother.

Following the development Wumi called out Seyi and mocked her for her inability to have a child.

Their fight intensified in June 2021 when Wumi also ignored Seyi on her birthday.

Nigerian rapper, Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, known professionally as Vector Tha Viper, has revealed that he met his wife, Yinka Coker, at the club. 

Speaking in a recent episode of the MENtality podcast co-hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and Banky W, Vector said contrary to the stereotype that clubbers don’t make good wives, his wife is “super homely.”

The rapper disclosed this while arguing that it is not necessary to follow societal standards or every piece of advice when choosing a life partner, especially as regards meeting places. 

“I  met my woman in the club. You will not believe she is super homely. Who would have thought? What was the first attraction? She was rapping Heavy D.

“So, you can’t take advice when it comes to a life partner. The typical advice that I heard before then was that there were no good women in the club.

“I am not saying you shouldn’t take any advice, you can have a few people who give you good counsel then on your own, you can decide what works for you,” he expressed. 

Vector and his wife Yinka Coker got married in a civil ceremony in December 2022 and have a daughter together.

Popular Nigerian comedian and actor, Chibunna Stanley, better known as Funnybone, has stirred conversations on social media after sharing his views on the relationship between faith, trauma and emotional healing.

In a post shared on his Instagram page, the comedian argued that becoming born again does not automatically erase childhood trauma or behavioural dysfunction, stressing the need for the church to pay greater attention to mental and emotional well-being.

According to Funnybone, many Christians mistakenly believe that avoiding vices such as substance abuse or sexual immorality is the ultimate sign of transformation, while overlooking deeper emotional wounds that continue to shape their behaviour.

“I hope that one day the church understands that some personality traits have nothing to do with spirituality, and that being ‘born again’ doesn’t erase childhood trauma or behavioural dysfunction,” he wrote.

The comedian maintained that unresolved trauma often operates beneath the surface, influencing how individuals think, react and relate with others.

He noted that some of the most difficult personalities he has encountered identify as born-again Christians, adding that spiritual rebirth should not be viewed as a substitute for emotional healing.

Funnybone further emphasised that therapy, religion and spirituality can coexist, encouraging believers to seek professional support where necessary.

“Yet, the heart can still be deeply wounded, bitter, or unkind because unresolved trauma often shapes subconscious reactions,” he added.

His comments generated mixed reactions among social media users. While some agreed with his position and praised him for drawing attention to mental health issues within religious communities, others insisted that the Holy Spirit plays a vital role in helping believers overcome emotional and behavioural struggles.

One user, @kelexofoedu, argued that being born again marks the beginning of the healing process, stating that the Holy Spirit guides Christians in overcoming challenges such as anger and other negative traits.

While another user, @mike_chigbo_ugochukwu, maintained that many churchgoers fail to experience genuine transformation because they focus more on miracles than developing a personal relationship with God through studying the Bible.

The issue has continued to generate debate online, with many weighing the balance between faith-based healing and professional mental health support.

Afrobeats singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has revealed his biggest fear in life.

In a video broadcast, Davido candidly disclosed that his biggest fear is not knowing when to quit music.

Davido said it is scary seeing celebrities who once held sway fall out of grace.

The singer said if he could, he would build a therapy centre for celebrities who have fallen from grace.

He said, “If there is one thing I could build, I would build a therapy centre for people who were popular and very successful people. Because it is crazy to be on top of the world and the next moment you are not. 

“Even in soccer, you win World Cup, Champions League and other trophies and people still don’t think it is enough. For instance, look at my good friend Ronaldo – after everything he’s done for football, they still laughed at him for exiting the World Cup. 

“That is my greatest fear. I have worked so hard for me to come and spoil it with something. I pray to God every day to show me the right time to pack it up.”

Nigerian content creator, Bukunmi Adeaga Ilori, better known as Kiekie, has explained why she would never collaborate with some of her colleagues in the entertainment industry.

Speaking in a recent podcast interview, she stated that she can never partner with any skit makers that are too vulgar and indecent.

Defending her decision, she noted that it does not align with her brand. “I would never collaborate with any skit maker that is too vulgar. I will not be able to collaborate with them.”

The interviewer said: “Give me one name.”

She responded: “Let me think about it. Hmmm. I don’t have a name of one but I have seen quite a number of them. So if you’re too much breasts, bumbum, not that I have a problem with it but it’s just brand alignment.

“My inability to collaborate with you doesn’t mean that I look down on what you do or I don’t respect what you do or I don’t see your hard work. I recognize your hard work but we just don’t align. It will affect the way my own brands are approaching my own work.”

Emmanuel Jakpa, popularly known as Alavin, has retracted a viral video linked to the controversy involving businessman and social media influencer, Uyi Godson Agho, popularly known as Godson, urging members of the public to disregard its contents.

Alavin’s statement comes days after Godson an associate of afrobeat star, Wizkid denied allegations that he defrauded social media influencer, Clement Akpobome Ogudu, popularly known as IsokoBoy (ISB), of N100 million, insisting that the matter was a business disagreement that had been misrepresented as fraud.

In a video statement released on Sunday, Alavin said the earlier recording he made on June 28, 2026, involving Godson did not reflect the true situation.

“The content of the video is not true. I hereby make this video as a rejoinder and urge the general public to disregard the earlier video being posted online by one Mr. Richie,” he said.

Alavin further clarified that the continued circulation of the earlier video by Richie was driven by a previous disagreement between Richie and Godson.

“Whatever Richie is posting and saying is out of jealousy and the issue he had previously with Godson,” he stated.

He also maintained that his rejoinder was made voluntarily, restating his continued friendship with Godson.

“I am not making this video under duress. We are all friends,” he added.

The development follows Godson’s petition to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, through his lawyer, C. C. Ezenwa, Esq., in which he denied defrauding IsokoBoy and described the dispute as arising from a clothing business allegedly valued at about N320 million.

He also alleged that IsokoBoy, Alavin, and others confronted him at his residence, recorded him while he was unclothed, and later circulated the footage online with claims that he had defrauded his business partner.
