    The development came weeks after the lovebirds held their legal wedding ceremony. Wofai and Taiwo’s union has been surrounded by controversy.

    In May, videos from their traditional wedding in Calabar, Cross River, began circulating online.

    Shortly after, Taiwo’s family released a public disclaimer, distancing themselves from the union.

    “This serves to notify all acquaintances, family, and friends that the Cole family of Victoria Island Lagos are not aware of any marriage ceremony of our Son Taiwo Olakitan Cole, neither did we grant permission nor support in this regard,” the statement read.

    Despite the family’s stance, Wofai and Taiwo continued to share photos from their wedding ceremonies on social media.

    Wofai, who gained popularity for her comedic skits on Instagram, has solidified her name in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

  • “How God gave me my husband after years of waiting” – Sharon Ooja gives testimony

    “How God gave me my husband after years of waiting” – Sharon Ooja gives testimony

    Nollywood actress Sharon Ooja has testified in church about how, after years of waiting, her patience and faith brought her to meet her husband, Ugo Nwoke.

    At the Harvesters International Christian Centre on Sunday, Sharon shared her testimony and talked of a personal spiritual experience in which she asked God for direction in her love life.

    She described how, after years of yearning for a life companion, she had a direct experience with the Holy Spirit.

    Even though Sharon had succeeded in her work, her finances, and her personal development, she still yearned for a relationship, she disclosed. According to Sharon Ooja:

    “Several times I would have conversations with God, saying, ‘You’ve given me work, financial stability, and I’m great at what I do. There’s just one thing I’m still waiting for,”

    Her turning point came after a conversation with a “Pastor B” who asked her what qualities she was looking for in a man. Sharon replied: “Someone who will take care of me.”

    The pastor, however, encouraged her to focus on personal growth, which prompted her to reflect on herself.

    While filming a movie in the desert last year, Sharon said she had an encounter with the Holy Spirit. She recalled the moment vividly, saying:

    “I was filming in the desert and had a heavy encounter with the Holy Spirit. I remember hearing, ‘Leave your burdens here.’”

    Shortly after this spiritual experience, she met the man who would become her husband, describing him as “the best man in the world.”

    Sharon’s testimony comes just two months after her luxurious wedding in June.

    She shared that she had promised God to return and give her testimony, fulfilling that promise with gratitude and joy. Watch her speak below:

    ‘Bring husband to daddy’ – Ooni of Ife tells daughter on 30th birthday

    The Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, honoured his daughter Adeola Ogunwusi on her 30th birthday.

    On May 20, Adeola turned 30. The monarch used his Instagram account to commemorate her birthday by thinking back on the ways he had helped her at various points in her life.

    In addition, he took pleasure in her freedom at thirty and gave her a gentle prod in the direction of finding a partner.

    “When you turned 10, your father would talk to you about school and your future. At 20, he encouraged you to listen and understand the importance of morals and well-being, even as you sought independence,” he wrote.

    “Now that you are 30, you are a grown woman. Your father senses that you no longer wish to be advised as independence has finally set in.

    “I talked 10 to you and I got your subtle independence behaviour in return, I talked 20 to you and still got your near obvious independence behaviour in return. Now I’m talking 30 to a grown woman, so go and bring husband to daddy o”.

    My husband gave me the idea for ‘Men Are Crazy’ – Simi

    Popular singer, Simisola Kosoko, known as Simi, disclosed that the concept for her contentious track, ‘Men Are Crazy,’ originated from her husband, Adekunle Gold.

    The song, which also features Tiwa Savage, received varied reactions, particularly from many male social media users who criticized its demeaning tone.

    While speaking on Angela Yee’s podcast, ‘Way Up,’ Simi revealed that it was Adekunle Gold who suggested the idea for the song.

    She said, “My husband gave me the idea for my song, ‘Men Are Crazy’. He was like, ‘Babe, how about we do a song and you say men are crazy but I still want one in my bed?’

    “I was like, ‘Oh yeah, no one is going to see that coming from me. So I made that song. I had actually finished the song, I did two verses but I felt something was missing. It just hit me and I was like, ‘I will love to have Tiwa on the song.’ We [our music] don’t generally go in the same direction but I was like, it would be so nice to find that balance and do something that would bring our synergies together. So I sent it to Tiwa and she did her verse and we shot the video together.”

    The 40-year-old victim from Ebonyi State revealed that her husband, an Anambra State indigene, attacked her with a machete on Sunday at their home on Oda Road in Akure.

    She stated that she and her husband had not communicated in over a year, and that he was no longer caring for her and their children.

    Mrs. Odechukwu claimed she had been lawfully married to her husband for almost 14 years, but he abruptly demanded that she and their children leave their house for no apparent reason.

    “For almost a year, my husband and I have not lived as husband and woman. We’re just remaining under the same roof.

    “On that tragic day, we were at home when my husband began hitting me and took a cutlass to kill me. I shielded myself with my left hand, thus I got major injuries on my right and left arms.

    “I rushed out of the home nude, and he after me with the cutlass in his hand, but I was saved by a man who is a commissioner in the state, who ran towards my husband and took the cutlass from him as he was about to hack me on my side.

    “The police later arrived and rushed me to the hospital, while he was arrested and taken away.”

    “He told my children and me to leave the house for him. I’ve got five boys for him. One is fourteen years old, while the other is thirteen. The third child is 11 years old, the second is 8 years old, and the youngest is about to turn three.

    Olamide Falana, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Gender Matters, responded to the occurrence by visiting the victim in the hospital and saying it was unfortunate.

    TRENDING: ‘Come celebrate my darling husband’s birthday with me,’ Tinubu’s minister tells other cabinet members

    Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has called on other cabinet members to join her in celebrating her husband’s birthday. 

    In an invite to her colleagues dated January 29, 2023, the 50-year-old asked them to join her for the celebration on Sunday, fondly describing her husband as the “birthday boy”.

    “Please come celebrate my darling husband’s birthday with me,” the letter leads.

    “Birthday boy: Double Chief Kennedy Ohanenye.“Date & Time: 4th February, 2024 / 3pm dot.

    “Venue: Transcorp Hilton Hotel.”

    One of the event planners in an interview with TheCable said the memo was only intended for ministers, adding that the event was billed as a “low-key, small interaction”.“I don’t know how the memo got out, besides it’s nothing serious. It’s just a small interaction,” she said.

    In what appears like an error, the year ‘2023’ as written on the invite was a typo that should have read as ‘2024’.

    Not much is known of the minister’s husband except that he is also a lawyer, a businessman, and a philanthropist.

    In an interview she granted last year, the minister said she always looks forward to spending time with her husband whenever she is not at work, describing him as her “main baby”.

    “You will not believe it, and I don’t know how to explain it. He is my main, main first baby,” she said.

    “That is the first thing I look forward to. Then, I love to cook for him personally. There is no day I don’t prepare something for him, even if it is only spaghetti.

    “That is why I always come to work early. By 8am or 8.30am, I’m here, and by 5pm, I must have rounded off what I’m doing and I go home to make some food for my husband and my children.

    “I have a cook but I have these special meals that I usually do and some of them don’t take long to get prepared and ready. I bring out the food, serve and we eat together and gist.
