Toyosi Etim Effiong, wife of Nollywood actor Daniel Etim Effiong, has shared her views on marriage and infidelity, stating that she does not consider cheating a dealbreaker.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Toke Makinwa podcast, Mrs Effiong insisted that infidelity is not sufficient grounds to end a marriage.

She emphasised that, rather than leaving her marriage due to cheating, prayer and spiritual support matter more to her.

She also revealed that she has set up a prayer group for wives of entertainers to pray for their husbands not to fall for the antics of seductresses in the industry.

“Cheating is not a dealbreaker for me. I even created a prayer group, Wives of Entertainers Prayer Group, to pray for our husbands so that Jezebels will not carry them,” Mrs Effiong stated.

She added that love, patience and good communication are key to a lasting marriage, stressing that both partners must make deliberate efforts to understand each other.

Police arrest popular TikToker, Peller after reckless driving

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has warned celebrities, social media influencers and content creators to stop using public roads to make online content, saying the practice is dangerous and illegal.

The Corps Marshal, Mallam Shehu Mohammed, raised the alarm after a video went viral showing a popular TikTok, Peller, live-streaming while driving which led to a road crash.

Mohammed said using a phone to record, stream or create content while driving distracts drivers and puts the lives of passengers and other road users at serious risk. He stressed that such behaviour is a clear violation of traffic laws.

He directed the Lagos state sector commander to begin legal action against anyone involved in reckless driving, phone use while driving or any form of distracted driving, in line with existing laws.

The FRSC boss also called on actors’ guilds, entertainment groups and influencer communities to educate their members on safe and responsible driving.

“Celebrities and influencers have a strong influence on young people and should promote safety, not dangerous behaviour,” he said.

Mohammed warned that the FRSC would enforce the law against anyone found breaking traffic rules, regardless of their social status. He added that no social media trend or online popularity is worth a human life.

He reminded Nigerians that roads are not filming locations but shared public spaces meant to protect lives. He also urged citizens to report dangerous driving.

American rapper Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr., popularly known as T.I, has explained why he does not go to church despite being a Christian.

The Alanta star said he was raised in a Christian household and believes in the “realness” of God, but the church, to him, is a business.

Speaking in a recent interview with Gospel musician Kirk Franklin, T.I accused Christian clergy of “twisting” the Bible and exploiting their congregations.

“I have never been a church person. I grew up in a strong Christian household. My grandma and auntie were very strong in prayer. So, I know how to pray and I know the word. And I know God is real, I’ve seen his presence and his hands in my life. But I have never felt the connection with the church,” he said.

“To be honest, I don’t think the church is real. I think it’s a business. It’s like a show. It’s like public-speaking, like TED talk. And sometimes, the clergies try to twist the word of God to benefit them.”

T.I also said that he doesn’t believe that he needs to pay tithe or make any financial commitment to a church before God could bless him.

“Y’all telling me.. I gotta pay this joker.. for my God to hear my prayer ??? Mehn I’m outta here,” the rapper said.

He added that he doesn’t believe there needs to be a middleman in his relationship with God in the form of a clergy.

Record producer, Samklef has accused singer, Davido of spearheading toxicity and rivalry in the Nigerian music industry.

He made the claim while reacting to a tweet by fellow producer-turned-singer Pheelz, expressing concern over the toxicity and comparisons in the Nigerian music industry.

“Music was meant to be enjoyed, not to be compared. This comparison game is hurting the sound and culture more than we can ever know,” Pheelz wrote.

Reacting, Samklef claimed that there was mutual respect in the Nigerian music industry when Wizkid and Olamide held sway as the young stars until Davido joined them.

He claimed that with Davido’s entry came toxicity, “cultist mindset,” threats and streaming fraud.

Samklef said that the music industry wasn’t supposed to be competitive or a rivalry ground.

He wrote, “Music was fun when we started. When Wizkid came, there was no comparison—everything was pure love.

“Olamide came too, same thing. No pressure, no hatred, just music.

“Then one Scorpio boy who moves like diddy..Davido entered, and since then the industry turned toxic.

“Cultist mindset, threats, fake streams, dirty moves everywhere.”

His submission sparked mixed reactions, with many berating him for singling Davido for blame for the decadence in the music industry.

Meanwhile, Davido is yet to react to Samklef’s allegations.

Nollywood star, Tonto Dike has revealed that she started smoking at the age of 13 and struggled with the addiction for 27 years.

The actress, who disclosed this while sharing a testimony during a Sunday service at Streams of Joy International Church, also shared that she struggled with alcohol addiction, masturbation and prolonged anger issues.

Describing her addictions as “demonic oppression,” Dikeh attributed her freedom from the addictions to divine intervention, stressing that she started noticing changes after her spiritual life improved.

“I smoked since I was 13. God healed me from masturbation, too. I have known myself to have sexual intercourse in the dream ever since I was a child,” the actress said.

She explained that she got addicted to smoking because her father was a smoker. She urged parents not to expose their children to harmful habits.

The 40-year-old said God also recently healed her from “demonic anger,” which she said previously affected her relationships and personal life.

After the actress’ testimony, the founder of Pastor Jerry Eze prayed for her, declaring that “the burden of sin is broken” and describing her as “a voice in her generation.”
