Speaking in a recent episode of the One54 Podcast, Adekunle said he wouldn’t have married his wife if she wasn’t AA.

“I wouldn’t have married my wife if she were SS or AS. Forget love. I don’t think it makes sense to bring a child into this world and they would be sickly.

Junior Ubiribo, son of British-Nigerian businessman and influencer Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo, has challenged reports linking his father’s death in Thailand to complications from a penis enlargement procedure.

In an emotional video shared online, Junior claimed his father’s death has been misrepresented, insisting there were unanswered questions surrounding the circumstances of the incident.

“My dad was killed in March, and I say killed because although they’re trying to push this narrative that he needed his private region bigger, that’s not what happened,” he said.

According to him, his father’s body showed injuries that he believes have not been adequately explained.

He alleged that Igho had a missing eyeball and a “giant gash” on his forehead, questioning how such injuries could have resulted from the reported procedure.

Junior also accused his father’s wife, whom he claimed was not legally married to the late businessman, of failing to provide the family with clear information about what transpired in Thailand.

He further alleged that properties and assets belonging to his father had been taken following his death.

“I had my inheritance stolen by his wife. Just crazy how many properties, guns, watches, just gone to South Africa with the wind,” he alleged.

The grieving son said the family learned details about Igho’s death through media reports and online discussions, expressing frustration over what he described as attempts to tarnish his father’s image.

He maintained that the public narrative does not tell the full story and called for more answers regarding the circumstances surrounding the businessman’s death.

“I miss my dad. He didn’t deserve what happened to him, and he doesn’t deserve what’s happening to him now,” Junior said.

His remarks come days after reports emerged that a UK coroner’s inquest found that Igho died from a pulmonary embolism linked to hyaluronic acid filler used during a penis enlargement procedure in Bangkok, However, Junior said he remains unconvinced by the findings and believes his family deserves further clarification.

Filmmaker Kunle Afolayan has criticised Nollywood producers turning to YouTube as an alternative streaming platform.

Speaking in a recent interview with former Minister of Finance Kemi Adeosun, Afolayan argued that YouTube can never be on the same level as Netflix and Prime in terms of movie streaming.

He, however, admitted that YouTube is a good starting point for beginners and producers who do not have the resources and leverage to put their films on streaming giants such as Netflix and Prime or even in cinemas.

“Nollywood producers rushing to YouTube is not the way to go. YouTube can never give you what Netflix and Prime would give you. However, it is the most flexible. It is for everyone. It is like a starting point. If you don’t have the strength to negotiate or access to the big players, you open an account and put your movie there. If people watch, you get your money,” he explained.

Afolayan argued that the reason producers are embracing YouTube is because of the current high dollar-to-naira exchange rate.

He predicted that Nollywood producers would abandon YouTube if the dollar-to-naira exchange rate crashed.

“Nigerian filmmakers are rushing to YouTube because of the dollar exchange rate. At ₦1,400 to $1, they celebrate 1 million views because it can bring in about $10,000. But if the dollar falls to ₦200, everyone will run away from YouTube. I pray the dollar-to-naira exchange rate comes down,” he added.
