Obasi Emmanuel, Judy Austin’s ex-husband, has countered actor Yul Edochie’s marriage advice.

DAILY POST reports that Yul had earlier advised men to stop tolerating disrespect in marriage, claiming that respect is a man’s birthright: “Your respect as a man is non-negotiable.”

Yul’s stance about marriage has sparked mixed reactions online.

Responding to Yul in a Facebook post on Thursday evening, Judy Austin’s ex-husband, Obasi, who has accused Yul of snatching her from him, said: “If your only option is to run to another woman when you feel disrespected, you will build three football teams, including the fans, in your lifetime in the name of marriage.”

While stating that a real man’s strength lies in his ability to manage a woman’s excesses, Obasi, in a direct post to counter Yul’s advice, wrote: “Keep shouting, ‘Your respect as a man is non-negotiable.’ If you can’t take or control a woman’s excesses, you are not yet a man; you’re a boy. So you have to be very careful,” he said.

DAILY POST reports that Obasi has also called out Judy Austin for allegedly denying him access to their children after leaving their marriage to marry Yul.

Popular singer Omawumi has shared her opinion on the widespread claim that modern romantic relationships are transactional, arguing that it has always been so.

In a recent interview with Pulse, the ‘Bottom Belle’ crooner explained that love is transactional in nature, but admitted that it has become more demanding than before.

Omawumi stated that during her youth, impressing a woman doesn’t cost much but nowadays, it is expensive due to modernisation and inflation.

“Love has always been transactional. Women have always been demanding since the beginning of time. But during my youth, our transaction was different because you can impress your crush with just ice cream and popcorn. But now, it is iPhone,” she said.

The music star, however, said society sometimes amplifies the transactional nature of relationships by ignoring women’s reciprocation.

She added that most men who complain about the transactional nature of relationships put themselves in the position by dating women with higher tastes.

Temi Otedola, wife of Nigerian singer, Mr Eazi, has revealed that her husband keeps malice with her whenever he gets upset with her instead of confronting her.
Speaking in an episode of their joint podcast, the actress described her husband’s action as “a bit childish.”

She recalled an incident when she found out her husband was angry with her through email.

“The way I found out that Tosin [Mr Eazi] was actually angry with me on a Monday was that he sent me a long message. And bear in mind that we are sitting in the same flat. I was minding my business, responding to my mails and I got a message saying everything he was upset about me for. While I was reading it my body was already becoming hot. At some point, I couldn’t even read it because I was so angry.

“Because I have asked him ten times if he was upset with me and he said nothing. Honestly, if you’re in the same flat as someone do I think it is a bit childish to not go up and speak to them? Yes. But that is what you’re comfortable with. You find it easier to express yourself by typing. I have gotten some long *ss emails in the past. At least you’re getting it out. But it would be nice if you could just sit down with me and have it out,” she expressed.

Responding, Mr Eazi admitted that he is more comfortable expressing himself through typing.

He pointed out that he wasn’t able to explicitly express his concerns during past one-on-one dialogues.

“I would prefer to sit down with you and talk things out. But I see that sometimes when we sit down to talk, I don’t hit the nail on the head. Also, I think if I communicate during tense moments, I might sound too harsh.

“I don’t think texting someone you’re sitting next to is the best way to communicate. But that is my way. And everybody just needs to find what their way of communication is and communicate. For me, it’s typing. When I want to really express myself, I can do it via typing better than speaking it. Because then I can read it again and crosscheck my tone,” he said.
