    Kizz Daniel sparks debate with cryptic post on relationships, breakups

    Nigerian music star, Kizz Daniel, has caused a stir on social media with a controversial post about relationships and breakups.

    NAN reports that the post, which has since been deleted, has left many of his fans and followers speculating about the status of his marriage.

    In the post, Kizz Daniel stated: “If you won breakup with me, no problem 😉 just pay me my PENSION💰For all the things I don do 🙄 My airtime, My Gifts, The F**k etc then you can leave 💀– BALACLAVA 🥷.”

    While Kizz Daniel did not explicitly mention his wife, Mjay Anidugbe, or the status of their relationship, the timing and tone of the post suggests that all may not be well in his personal life.

    Many fans and followers have interpreted the statement as a hint that his marriage has crashed.

    According to trending social media reports, the two lovebirds are having difficult times, as the ‘Buga’ crooner has allegedly been unrepentant and unfaithful to his marital vows, and this time his wife has refused to forgive him.

    The post has sparked debate and raised eyebrows, with many taking to social media to share their opinions and reactions.

    @evanschinyere said on X, “I have said it that anyone displaying their marriage online don’t have a happy home.

    “Men should also stop exposing their women to social media especially if you’re famous.

    “We women sometimes are overwhelmed with success and fame, I knew it will happen the moment he wanted to make the wife famous by exposing her to media

    “Now,he is learning the hard way.”

    @lifeofhero said , “Brother collect everything that belongs to you, those girls always run after fame without looking at the aftermath of marriage.

    “You can’t marry an entertainer and you expect him to always be at home

    “I knew this guy was forcing all that social media PDA, when Gistlover said it here, Shebi una talk say na lie,

    “Just 3months after that Gistlover post, e don Dey happen.”

    @felixoflagos said, “Kizz Daniel, I love your music, but this post though, It’s a bit ridiculous, don’t you think?

    “Relationships aren’t business investments, and love isn’t something you can put a price on.

    “I mean, I get it, you’re hurt, but this isn’t the way to go about it. You’re coming across as entitled and materialistic.

    “Just take a step back, reflect on your actions, and maybe try to be a better partner next time around.”

    @folaketecnko wrote, “Yessss, Kizz Daniel, speak your truth! You’re a king, and you deserve to be treated as such.

    “If someone wants to benefit from your greatness, they should be willing to compensate you for it.

    “I mean, think about it, relationships are a two-way street, and if someone’s not holding up their end of the bargain, then they shouldn’t expect you to keep giving without getting anything in return. You go, Kizz!.”

    @brodasteve wrote, “Ummm, Kizz Daniel, I’m not sure what’s going on in your personal life, but this post is a bit concerning. Are you okay?

    “Do you need some help or assistance? Because this doesn’t sound like the Kizz Daniel we all know and love.

    “You’re starting to sound like one of those entitled celebrities who think they can buy their way out of any situation. Just take a deep breath, and let’s get back to making good music, okay?”

    As the debate continues, fans and followers are eagerly waiting for Kizz Daniel to clarify the status of his relationship and explain the meaning behind his cryptic post.

    NAN reports that neither Kizz Daniel nor his wife have confirmed having challenges in their marriage.

    The couple who quietly exchanged vows in 2020, kept their marriage away from the public eye and the usual social media showcase, characteristic of celebrity marriage.

  • Pruning in relationships – By Francis Ewherido

    Pruning in relationships – By Francis Ewherido

    Some people complain, lament or curse because their “friend,” political associates or leaders, boyfriends or girlfriends, etc., have severed relationships with them. People have different reasons for severing relationships. For some they now see you as a nuisance. Others feel you have outlived your usefulness. For some others, you are no longer in their league; they have moved on. Some people kick you out of their lives because you crossed the boundary or did something they cannot ignore or forgive. The list goes on.

    As far as I am concerned if someone severs a relationship with you, move on with your life if your conscience is clear. In a country of over 200m people, why should you kill yourself over one rejection?  I only worry myself over things that are within my control. If you cut me off, that is not within my control and I do not worry myself over it. I have asked a few people who cut me off where I went wrong and that is the farthest I have gone.

    Some people simply see severing of relationships as pruning. Pruning is about cutting off branches of a tree or flowers to remove deadwoods and make the tree or flower grow better, or change the tree or flower to a particular shape. Why would you question people for taking decisions they feel are beneficial to their lives? It can be very brutal, wicked and inhuman or Machiavellian to the people at the receiving end, but move on. Some of the criteria the people use to prune might not even agree with your value orientation, but you have to learn to live with their decisions. They are taking decisions about their lives. You also go ahead and take decisions that are beneficial to your life.

    Before readers come here and tell me that I don’t understand the pain of being pruned off, let me share just one of my bitter experiences across many sectors of my life. I wanted to get married to someone I really loved. The closer we got to the D-day, the further we drifted apart in spite of spirited efforts. Then one day, she confronted me, “…am I the only girl in town? Go get yourself another girl and leave me alone.” I was shattered. I saw my life falling apart, but also knew I had reached my limit. Since childhood, I knew it was not dignifying to force yourself on people who don’t want you. I left to lick my wounds. That was about six weeks to our traditional marriage. Letting go and healing was tough, but I heeded her admonition and went to get “another girl” whom I eventually married. We just marked our 25th wedding anniversary. You cannot hang around where you are not wanted. If you do, do not complain about maltreatment or humiliation. You have the power of choice.

    Some people do not know the difference between a friend and an acquaintance and that is a big problem. If you have 500, sometimes even 100 or 50 friends, it means one or more of these: you are an extraordinary person in cultivating and nurturing friendships, or you flatter acquaintances by calling them friends, or you are confused and do not know the difference between a friend and an acquaintance. Who is a friend? “A person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations.” Calling someone your friend means you know him/her. You know his likes and dislikes, strength and weaknesses. There is a bond. Friendship does not mean you see every day, but out of sight is not out of mind. We all deal with issues, so you might not even talk for a month, but the bond remains firm. I see a friend as a loving brother from another womb (Siblings can also be friends). You share a common bond and deep feeling for each other. A friend loves, respects and trusts you.

    An acquaintance is “a person with whom one has been in contact but who is not a close friend.” You know each other. Some of the traits of friendship might be there, but the bond is not as deep. We also have people we are associated with in business, politics, career or other endeavours. You do things together, but you are not friends. We have peculiar cases of former spouses who are separated or divorced, but are still business or political associates. In one particular case, they run a practice together, share the same office space, but are divorced. I am pointing out all these differences because people need to know so that when you get pruned off, you do not get hurt unnecessarily. Know where you belong. It helps to manage your expectations and hurt.

    The hurt many people suffer when pruned off is as a result of the difference between reality and expectation. Former President Goodluck Jonathan lamented when he got pruned off by his “friends” after he lost the 2019 election even when he was still president. Former governors, permanent secretaries, MDs, chairmen, etc., have been pruned off by “friends.” These are not their friends but “friends” of the positions they occupy. I have been there too at my small level. No one is immune from being pruned off. It is one of the harsh realities of life.

    Pruning (rejection) might be part of life, but it helps to know why you were pruned off. If for instance, a girl rejected you because you are 5.8 inches and she prefers men who are six footers; that is none of your business. She cannot see beyond the physical. Her value orientation puts the height of a future husband above potentials, peace of mind, financial security, spirituality, etc. You move on until you meet a girl with your kind of value orientation. I had an acquaintance who in his bachelor days had no business with dark-skinned girls. Are you going to bleach to fall within his latitude of acceptance? NEVER. You simply wait. There are many men out there who appreciate black beauties. One of them will come for you some day.

    Part of the problem some people have is that some of us have low self-esteem. We put base metal value on ourselves. How can others put premium value on you? This is not about arrogance or pride. It is self-assurance. As a result of inferiority complex, you will not encourage people to visit you because you are ashamed of the bungalow you used your hard-earned money to build. Meanwhile, the same kind of bungalow is someone else’s pride. You go for ceremonies, you park far away from the venue because you are ashamed of the car you drive. If you are uncomfortable with your current circumstances, work hard to change it. Alternatively, come to terms with it so that you can have peace of mind. Put premium value on your life. You are created in the image and likeness of God. God’s creation cannot be inferior. That you got pruned off changes nothing. This article is not about positive thinking to lift anybody’s spirit. It’s the reality.

    That said, make efforts to become a better person every day. Self-improvement increases your self-confidence and ultimately, value. There is a giant in every person. It might be hidden, but it’s there. Unearth it. It will help you to live your life on own your terms and conditions at least. Do not let anyone make you feel less. That is paramount.

    “I saw lots of beautiful girls in the house. But it was only Bella I felt connected to. I got to know her quickly and things moved on from there.

    Actress, Monalisa Stephen in open relationship with two men

    Controversial Nollywood actress, Monalisa Stephen, has revealed that she’s in an open relationship with two men.

    The body positivity activist, who is never shy to share interesting details about her personal life, made this revelation in a recent interview, a recent episode of ‘Love or Lies’ by popular YouTuber, Korty EO.

    When asked about her relationship status, she explained that although she is seeing someone, since they are not married, she is open to dating other men as well.

    Speaking further, she mentioned that she had previously dated two men who knew each other.

    She said, “I’m in an open relationship. Before now I was dating two guys and they knew each other.”

    Asked how she managed to keep multiple partners, she said, “I do it through way men do it. It’s not a lot. But I actually want to drop one.”

    Just recently, Monalisa caused a stir when she disclosed that she and her boyfriend once had intercourse 27 times in one day.

    According to her, she had gone to visit her lover and he made love to her for a whole day.

    “He f*cked me 27 times, we were just together and it happened. One particular day I went to see him and he f*cked me 27 times”, she said.

    Her revelation elicited a barrage of reactions from social media users.

    Reacting, an Instagram user wrote,

    “Her extreme desire to make people “believe” she’s desirable or got the greatest sex appeal is a trauma response for feeling un-cherished & reprehensible in her prior years…she’s making scenarios in her head to create an illusion of “most wanted” …I highly recommend therapy ”.

    The problem with pathological liars is when you lie so much, a day will come when you really need people to come to your aid but they’ll think you’re still lying. Keep catching cruise until you really need help and say the truth but nobody listens.” Another user added.

    56th Birthday: “Words can’t describe how much I love you”, Iyabo Ojo tells Paul Okoye

    Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has expressed her love for a talent manager, Paul Okoye, as he turns 56 today April 2, 2023.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Paul is a Nigerian event promoter, record executive, and businessman.

    Iyabo, on her Instagram, posted; “Happy 56th birthday to the love of my life. Words can’t describe how much I love you, but know that it’s a forever deal Obim,” she wrote on her Instagram page.”

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) recalls that sometime in December 2022, Iyabo announced that she was ready to give marriage a second shot.

    During the airing of the ‘Real Housewives of Lagos reality show in early 2022, the actress hinted that she was in a relationship.

    Again, in November, Iyabo, who has produced more than 14 movies, gushed about her mystery lover, who she said is Igbo.

    However, as the actress marked her 45th birthday, she confirmed that, indeed, she is in a relationship with Paul.

    "Words can't describe how much I love you", Iyabo Ojo tells Paul-Okoye as he celebrate 56th birthday

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that the actress was born as Alice Iyabo Ogunro on 21 December 1977 in Lagos, Nigeria, although her father was from Abeokuta, Ogun State. She was the youngest of three children, having two older brothers.

    Marrying a Lagos-based Clearing Agent in 1999, when she was 21, Iyabo took a break from pursuing her career. She gave birth to a son and then a daughter (born in 1999 and 2001 respectively), namely Felix Ojo and Priscilla Ajoke Ojo, but is now divorced from their father.

    She has attributed the breakup of her first marriage to marrying too young. She has spoken of her intention to stop using her former husband’s surname, Ojo.

    In April 2021, she strongly condemned fellow actor, Yomi Fabiyi for sympathizing with Olanrewaju Omikunle (Baba Ijesha) who was arrested for molesting a minor.

    Her actions did not go down well with the Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria, (TAMPAN), and they blacklisted her on 28 June 2021.

  • “Why women get heartbroken the most” – Blessing CEO

    “Why women get heartbroken the most” – Blessing CEO

    Self-acclaimed relationship and mental expert, Okoro Blessing Nkiruka, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has disclosed why women get heartbroken the most.

    In a recent Instagram post, Blessing CEO shed light on why women with the purest hearts often end up getting hurt in relationships.

    According to her, women with pure hearts tend to give everything they have when it comes to love, often without expecting anything in return.

    They invest all their emotions, time, and effort into their relationships, hoping to build a strong and lasting bond with their partner.

    Blessing CEO encouraged women to prioritize personal growth and development, even as they invest in relationships. By doing so, they will become stronger and more resilient, able to weather any storm that comes their way.

    She wrote: Women with the purest heart are the ones who get broken the most because they give every part of love..Build yourself while standing by your man.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Blessing CEO had earlier said her decision to become a relationship therapist was influenced by her experience, and where she came from.

    In her words: “I realized that a lot of people do not have voices when it comes to relationship issues. People who say that my relationship advice will lead women astray are those who are afraid to look in the mirror.

    “They don’t like to look in the mirror because what they see in the mirror is who they really are. They hate their reflections. So, it is not about what I am saying, it is about what they are doing that they don’t like and don’t want to change.

    “If they don’t like what they are seeing in the mirror, they should change. People who do not like me are people who have bad habits, attitudes and patterns and don’t want to change them. I call them narcissists.

    “They don’t want a woman to be aware and empowered. Awareness (of one’s rights) is key and ignorance is poverty. It is people who are not comfortable with the awareness that believes my relationship advice will lead women astray.”
