  • How my criticism of Nigerian pastors led death threat for my household – Daddy Freeze

    How my criticism of Nigerian pastors led death threat for my household – Daddy Freeze

    Controversial media personality, Daddy Freeze, has claimed that he received death threats years ago for criticising Nigerian pastors.

    Daddy Freeze, who is the co-host on The Honest Bunch podcast, explained that the death threats were extended to members of his family.

    He further asserted that his outspoken criticism of Nigerian pastors emboldened others to demand accountability from clerics nationwide.

    According to him, “After my divorce, my pastor tried to reconcile me and my ex-wife, but I told him I wasn’t interested. So, I was excommunicated from serving in church events or sitting in the front row. I felt rejected because Jesus never condemned the woman who had been married five times and was living with a sixth man whom she wasn’t married to. I only had one divorc,e and my church is treating me as if I committed murder.

    Daddy Freeze opens up on loosing everything after attacking Nigerian pastors

    Media personality, Daddy Freeze, has disclosed that his business suffered a major decline after he began to speak against Nigerian pastors.

    In a candid conversation with businessman, Stephen Akintayo, the former OAP didn’t hold back as he shared personal experiences that changed his life.

    “When I came after Nigerian pastors, I lost 100% of my business,” he said.

    The controversial broadcaster explained that his decision to speak out against religious practices he found questionable didn’t come cheap.

    “I lost everything. It all went like that.”

    He also touched on a heartbreaking story involving a young Muslim man who was denied a job because of his religion.

    “The guy said, ‘I’m a Muslim.’ The man replied, ‘I can’t work with a Muslim.’ I watched the video. That guy was still at the gate when the building collapsed,” Freeze said, referring to a tragic incident involving a collapsed building.

    According to Freeze, many Christians are often unwilling to work with people of other religions; a mindset he believes needs to change.

    “Muslims are more open to working with Christians than the other way round,” he added.

     

  • Why most women don’t want nice guys – Frank Edoho

    Why most women don’t want nice guys – Frank Edoho

    Nigerian journalist, Frank Edoho has opined that most women are not attracted to men who are consistently nice to them.

    The media personality made this known during a recent episode of The Black Table on TVC Entertainment, where he explains relationship dynamics based on comments he came across online.

    “There was an article I saw on a blog that intrigued me. The topic was, ‘What is that red flag that you admire in the opposite sex?’ The question was directed at women,” said the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire host.

    He continued saying: “Although I am of the school of thought that men shouldn’t be nice all the time, the answers I got further my resolve that men should not even be nice at all.

    “Women were answering, do you know what I saw? There was one I saw that says, ‘I like it when my man tells me, ‘I don’t want to repeat myself.’ She said it turns her on.

    “Others said that they like it when their man waxes them, not extremely, but shows power; it turns them on.”

    Edoho concluded that while not all women are the same, a majority tend to prefer men who exhibit dominant or assertive traits.

    “There are some strange things going on in the minds of these women that you are trying to be nice to. I am not saying all of them are like that but majority of women don’t like nice guys. They want bad guys that are nice to them sometimes.”
