  • IK Ogbonna breaks silence over failed marriage

    Handsome actor and model, IK Ogbonna has broken the silence over his marriage hitting the rocks.

    The versatile role interpreter made this known during a chat with Hip TV.

    According to him, his wife is presently in Europe with their son and their relationship is still cordial.

    “You are not divorced until you are divorced. So am not divorced, my wife and I, we are cool. She is back in Europe with my son and he is schooling there in Europe. My wife got her business going on and school at the same time”, he said.

    TheNewsGuru recalls that back in 2018, Ogbonna had revealed reasons why a lot of marriages are filled with unhappy people.

    He made this revelation known on his Instagram page on Wednesday, January 30, 2019

    He wrote:“Our generation must change their approach to marriage for the sake of the next generation. This is not just for me as an individual but for those who need it. 90% of marriages are unhappy and wear fake smiles and pretend to be happy while depression is the case. First, we must remember that u married a friend, a support system, not an enemy or competition. You are now one.

    And since u chose that person out of a world population of over 7 billion ppl, ur job is to protect that person always and make each other happy “Most people get married believing a myth. They believe that marriage is a beautiful box full of things they have longed for… companionship, intimacy, friendship, etc,”

     

  • Court dissolves 15 year-old marriage over attempted ritual

    Chief Ademola Odunade, President of a Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan, on Tuesday dissolved a 15 year-old marriage between one Odunayo and Sunday Akintayo over attempted ritual and drunkenness.

    Delivering his judgement, the president said the court would not watch and allow any tragedy to take place before acting, hence, the need to dissolve the relationship between Odunayo and Sunday.

    “Custody of the two children produced by the union is granted to Odunayo and Sunday shall pay a monthly allowance of N12, 000 as the children’s feeding allowance to the petitioner.

    “Sunday is also ordered to make adequate provision for the children education and other welfare,” Odunade ruled.

    The court’s president directed that a copy of the judgment be given to the respondent so that he would not claim ignorant of the proceedings.

    Earlier, in her petition, Odunayo, a resident of Egbeda-Asejire area of Ibadan alleged that her husband made efforts to use her for ritual.

    “The greatest blunder I made in life was my decision to exchange marital vows with Sunday who has exposed me to bitterness and horror since 2004.

    “The whole problem began when he had disagreements with some members of his extended family.

    “Then things changed negatively for Sunday because he started misbehaving.

    “The most striking of his misbehavior was when Sunday cut some strings of hair from my head and also seized my pant.

    “I asked him why he took my hair and pant, but he offered no cogent reason.

    “Besides, Sunday is a deadly drunkard, who often goes mad anytime he drinks alcohol.

    “Most of the time, he returns home naked with vomit all over his body from his drinking joint.

    “Anytime he asks me for money and I am unable to provide it, he breaks into my shop to destroy my goods.

    “In addition, Sunday constantly threatens to harm me and if he doesn’t see me when in need of money, he sends messages, cursing me.

    “I have been solely responsible for the children’s sustenance, please, separate us,” Odunayo begged.

    However, the respondent was not in court to defend allegations leveled against him.

    The court’s registrar said that it was the third time the case was coming up for hearing without any message from the respondent.

    The court’s bailiff told the arbitrators that the respondent told him that he would never appear before the court.

  • I didn’t pray about my failed marriage- Uche Elendu

    Beautiful actress, Uche Elendu has said her marriage crashed because she failed to pray when she decided to get married.

    The single mother of one noted that she is willing to give marriage another try, adding that she will be more careful this time.

    In her words: “Of course, I am a very beautiful woman and I should get passes. If nobody makes a pass at me, then I’d be worried. But as a Christian, I do things right. I am mature enough to control things and make the right decisions.

    “I am definitely willing to give marriage another shot. From my first marriage, I learnt not to be in a hurry to do anything. Don’t be in a haste to jump into marriage; you should really take your time to make sure that you’re with the right person and you’re both compatible. I got married to a very wonderful man but I guess we were not compatible. Don’t just get married because everybody else is doing that, or based on a person’s good looks and money.

    “Marriage is not friendship or courtship; it is a serious business. You also have to pray about it and that’s one of the mistakes I made because I didn’t pray about my marriage. When problems arise in your marriage, you should be able to endure. I guess I was always too quick to act. Give God a chance in your marriage”, she told Punch.

    Nigerian comedian and filmmaker, AY has shared the secret behind the success of his marriage.

    The multi -talented comedian noted that he married his friend and God’s grace has been their anchor.

    I am not mentally ready for marriage- Ice Prince declares

    Nigerian rapper, Ice Prince Panshak Zamani is one of the most eligible bachelors in the Nigerian music landscape.

    The ‘Oleku’ crooner has however said he is not just ready to get married yet. He made this known during a chat with Off The Top Show.

    “To be honest, I intend raising a family one day but, right now, I’m mentally not ready. Right now, I’m single,” he said.

    Commenting on how he carried himself during his early days as a star, he said: “I was young and naive and all I wanted to do was to just ‘ball’ (spend extravagantly). But credits to my manager who helped me balance my account,” he said.

    “I was spending money on stupid stuffs, yes, but he made sure we acquired a house.”

    On whether he is pressured to always release hit records, Ice Prince noted that he is at a point in his career where such things are no longer a source of concern.

    “As an artiste, you have to get to the point where it’s beyond dropping a hit record. Sometimes, I want to drop a song and talk about my late mom for example. I know that song is not going to be a hit song but I want to put it out,” he explained.

    “For me, I got to a point where it’s beyond having a hit song, a point where I want to write (and sing) what comes to mind.”

     

    Ice Prince debut studio album, Everybody Loves Ice Prince, was released in 2011. It was supported by the singles “Oleku”, “Superstar”, “Juju” and “Magician”.

  • Dangers of Feminism to Man and Marriage Exposed

    Dangers of Feminism to Man and Marriage Exposed

    The agony men endure in marriages has been traced to the philosophy behind feminism, the propelling force that has altered the mindset of woman who sees herself as equal partner in marriage, resulting in agitation for equal rights, opportunity and authority with men.

    These revelations which are contained in a new book published in the United Stated of America are mind-boggling, as it reveals the woman and feminism, and why many men are groaning silently in pains under them, subordinating their authority as head of the family to the woman with the ultimate aim of achieving peace without result, prompting many men to cooperate with their wives, and in the process, unwittingly subvert natural role responsibilities.

    The book is entitled, Feminism: The Agony of Men, and written by Michael Owhoko, a renowned author and journalist. It was published by WestBow Press, a Division of Thomas Nelson and Zondervan, and has been formally released to the public. It is available in major bookstores worldwide, including Amazon, Banes and Nobles, WestBow Press.

    “Until the philosophy behind feminism is curbed, men will continue to experience pains under cold relationships that will eventually lead to the collapse of their marriages. Feminism: The Agony of Men is an exposition of the silent pains men go through in marriages induced by feminism and the need for restraint, allowing natural order to prevail”, Michael Owhoko disclosed in the new book.

    The author asserts that the advocacy of the World Conference on Women, which encourages women to defend and fight for their rights in relation to equality with men are unwittingly setting the tone for tension and, by extension, conflict between the woman and her spouse, saying the growing band of single parenthood resulting from broken marriages is abysmal and should be of concern to the World Conference on Women.

    Owhoko further revealed in the book that the feminist propaganda is part of a worldwide phenomenon playing out in homes, corporate organisations, societies, and marriages, apparently designed to dispute and diminish the superordinate position of the man, provoking an illusion of equal authority with him. “Unfortunately, this is the fire behind the unexplainable suspicion, rivalry, competition, ego, and animosity between the man and the woman, resulting in unstable marriages and relationships”, the author disclosed.

    The book is a must read not only for couples, but important for young male children on what awaits them in their marital lives and how to adapt to the realities in order to make the union compatible and pleasurable..

    About the author

    Michael Owhoko is a journalist, author, media and public relations practitioner who has mostly worked in the banking, oil and gas, and media industries where he held senior and management positions. He earned degrees in political science and mass communications and is the publisher of Media Issues, an online newspaper that can be found at www.mediaissuesng.com.
