Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has opened up about her views on marriage, disclosing that she believes marriage should be a desire for advancement and not based on mere feelings.

Speaking in a recent interview with media personality Angie Martinez, the multiple Grammy winner said she believes that marriage could potentially go through hard times and is of the opinion that people should approach it with the awareness that it won’t also be rosy.

Tems explained that due to the uncertain nature of marriage, she prefers a God-fearing partner because, according to her, such a person will be accountable.

“My partner has to be a God-fearing man. Because why would you truly love me if you don’t have anyone that you answer to? If you’re not accountable to anyone, how could you choose to love and keep loving me for the rest of our lives?

“If you’re the god of your life, why would you love me forever? You could just discard me anytime you want. But marriage is something that makes you better as a human being. It should. It shouldn’t be about only love, it’s about compatibility. It’s about whether a relationship makes you a better person, like it evolves you. Because marriage is a whole another level, it’s supposed to bring out the hard times,” she stated.

“I am not against BBL. If you want to enhance your beauty, go ahead but don’t overdo things. Be careful,” she added.

Singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has berated Nigerian pastors over their continuous silence in the face of the alleged Christian genocide in the country.

DAILY POST reports that a fresh attack on Christians on Palm Sunday in Jos, Plateau State, by suspected jihadist militia has sparked renewed outrage over alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria, an allegations the Federal Government had debunked.

Reacting to the recent attack in Jos, Portable accused Nigerian pastors of being hypocrites, claiming that they use bulletproof vehicles for their own safety but couldn’t speak up when their members are being killed by terrorists.

He said he can’t fathom why Nigerian pastors are not leading protests despite the constant killing of Christians by suspected Islamic terrorists.

The Zazu crooner claimed that Islamic clerics won’t be as mum as Nigerian pastors if Muslims were being attacked in the same manner.

Speaking in a mix of Yoruba and Pidgin in a video broadcast, Portable said: “Why are Nigerian pastors not fighting for Christians? They use bulletproof cars yet their followers are dying. Why can’t pastors lead protest to the Aso rock? You can’t harm a Muslim and there won’t be chaos. If you kill a traditionalist, there will be crisis. But if you kill a Christian, the pastor will look away and being enjoying in his car.”
